Greetings all:

I read the most recent Consumer Reports, and all the amazing information
on this Newsgroup WRT upholstered stationary sofas. One of the sofas i
am considering is a flexsteel and my confidence is excellent with that.
BUT, i dont LIKE it as well as the other two. And it is the most
expensive...

I am asking here for opinions (+/-) on sofas from the following two
manufacturers (neither of which was mentioned in the Consumer Reports
review)

- Klaussen
- Raymour & Flanigan

We want FIRM cushions. NOT these mushy oversized loose pillow things
that are all the rage right now. Unfortunately, I have difficult colors
to work with... and so I have been through every swatch book from every
manufacturer.

I have compromised and am considering three sofas.

1. Raymour and Flanigan which is NEARLY the color i want but not quite
the shape i want. $600. The price is nice.

2. Klaussen.. again, nearly the right color and really like the shape
(design) Can find no info on quality. Nice shape. $700

3. Flexsteel. Less desireable color and design, but feel confident in
the quality and really like and trust the local store and it's family
ownership.

I guess the order, purely cosmetic is 2,1,3
But the order of confidence right now is 3, X, X (three, unknown,
unknown)


thanks..
