What You Need To Know Before Buying A Henredon Sectional From Costco

The right sectional can do wonders for your home and transform the feel of your space. From providing your family a place to rest and relax in the evenings to creating the ideal spot for watching football games on the weekend, a sectional is a lot more than just a piece of furniture. That being said, selecting the perfect sectional for your space that doesn't drain your bank account may be easier said than done, with many costing thousands of dollars. It follows, then, that Costco's low prices for sectionals may be tempting, but is the deal too good to be true?

Costco currently is offering a Henredon Larkin House fabric sectional for $1,599.99, which is admittedly an amazing deal for such a sizable piece of furniture. It offers deep seating that makes it great for lounging on and the ottoman is specially designed to offer hidden storage within, so that you can conceal an extra blanket, decorative pillows, or whatever else you need to stash. It also is advertised as being eco-friendly and stain resistant, which would make it a good option for active families. All that being said, while there are a number of best-rated pieces from Costco that are worth it, this particular sectional seems to fall flat when it comes to customer satisfaction. The sectional has a deflating 1.8-star average, giving potential buyers good reason to pause before committing to such a pricey purchase.

While it cannot be denied that this sectional looks really impressive, most of the reviews on the product are single star. One of the reviews does credit the appearance of the sectional but explains that it was simply not acceptable as a piece of furniture. "Each of the cushions were flat and intensely firm after just [one] week. I was not able to sit on it before ordering online. I cannot recommend this item." Another reviewer corroborates this narrative by saying that sitting on a cushion for even 30 minutes left a significant divot in the cushion; the same reviewer also had issues as the ottoman arrived without legs.

Though a couple reviews from satisfied customers are on the Costco site, the negative feedback on the uncomfortable cushions is very consistent. Fortunately, while it can be incredibly frustrating to deal with the ordeal of acquiring such a large piece of furniture only to have to return it a few weeks later, Costco is known for its great customer service and generous returns policy for home items for its members. Individuals who have complained about the sectional are encouraged to reach out to the appropriate department to seek a resolution. If you want to make the most of your membership at Costco but are hesitating to purchase the Henredon after this, you may wish to consider a higher-reviewed sofa, like the Thomasville Tisdale modular sectional ($1,399.99), which also comes with a storage ottoman but boasts a 4.6-star average with more than 7,000 reviews.
