How has your Sven sofa held up? I am debating on purchasing it. I read several reviews that say after about a month the fabric starts piling and looks really cheap. Also that the filling in the cushions is not good, they start to get really saggy and uncomfortable. Have you had any problems or disappointments after some regular use?

In reply to Kari. Perfect. That is exactly what I wanted to bring to the basement. Thank you!

In reply to Scoops. We have the black leather sectional version in the family room which doesn’t get photographed as much because the light isn’t as nice. No, the back cushions aren’t attached but the boys don’t mess with them much (maybe the leather makes them heavier and less fun to play with?). The bolsters get thrown around and used as swords all the time, but it’s a small price to pay to have the rest of the couch left alone ;)

What a step up! It’s the same look as before but so much more luxe.

Yeah! Not having cushions all over the GD place is a true gift. I love your sofa too – I didn’t know you had two of them. Your living room version always looks soooo good in your IG pics. Are the leather back cushions attached? I know they have a side that’s just black material, but I didn’t know if they actually stuck to the back. Mine art not attached and two sided, but they still are doing a good job of staying on the couch. Anyways, thank ya for the nice words, friend.

DREAM BASEMENT. All the heart eyes. We have two Svens and we adore them. I’m a bench cushion convert like whoa now. Our couches look so much more polished despite our three boys wrestling all over them all the time. When we had couches with multiple seat cushions, they were constantly being stolen for forts, play mats, etc. Now they leave them alone. MAGIC!
