Q:Less than a yr ago i got a sofa sectional w- 2 recliners a sleeper. Less than a month after i bought it i had some friends spend the night the sleeper closed on them. Nobody got hurt thankfully. I then called Ashley Furniture the next morning complained. I did have a warranty insurance on the couch. I had to spend months complaining 3 mos later they send someone to look at it. It takes him another month to send a replacement sofa. I got the new sofa in so i felt it was safe i had my parents sleeping on the bed and it closed injured my 64 year old dad. (He has back problems anyhow). I felt it could have been the hard wood floors making it close up. So i got carpet installed under the sofa area. Well sure enough my best-friend was here sleeping over. It closed again injured my friends knee. I called told them all this asked if there was a recall on this sofa they said no. The model # is 8890397. I can't find the sofa on the website anymore. Where can i go to find out.

Is Ashley the manufacturer..?... or just the 'dealer'? I would find the tag that tells who manufactured the couch and call them directly. Search for them on the net if you have to. Keep going up the management ladder at Ashley until you get some satisfaction. Bottom line is that you are not happy with the product....make them make it right.

Q:my living room set is cappuccino color. my walls are white, i want to make it more colorful. stylist

Pick a bright or bold accent color and buy several items in that color to put in different areas of the room, the color will pop out and draw the eye and the attention to these areas and make for a new feel in your room. Think couch pillows, flowers or a vase, art for the wall a rug for the floor, things like this. And the great thing is that with the neutral colors like you have now, you can change these accent colors with the seasons to always keep a fresh look and feel to your room. I like a red or orange, it is spring so you could go with yellow or green, or a fuchsia if you are into that. I hope I helped! Have fun decorating!

Q:Now more clearly, how would you change the color of the pale yellow-green sofa by painting the walls? What would be 6 good color options for the wall, that would affect the hue, value, or saturation of the yellow-green?

If you were able to tell me what you wanted the sofa to become it would be easier to be more specific in my answer. I will say this, take a digital photo of your room setting and take it in black and white. When you view your image every item in the room will be some shade of gray.Artists and color specifiers use a 10 step gray scale called a value scale to determine how light or dark a color is. Once you determine the value of your sofa, then it will be easy to pick a value paint which will either make it appear lighter or darker. I am thinking from your description that your sofa is inherently light so I would suggest that any color of a value 3 or darker (# 10 being black) will push the sofa into appearing darker. The darker you go, the more the sofa will appear pale. I am thinking you don't like the color so if you choose something relatively dark and intense, it will draw attention away from the objectionable color of the sofa. Now do you want it to look more green than yellow or more yellow than green. Greens are a combination of blue/yellow and so greens can shift to either side of that equation. If you paint any shade of blue, then your sofa will look more yellow, if you choose a gold then it will appear more green. Exactly the opposite of what you think might happen. I'd suggest a relatively light color like Benjamin Moore's Golden Hills, #262 which is a soft yellow. This will make your sofa look a bit more lime which is a very hot color right now. Paint is only one element in a room and can not realistically be expected to carry the entire room. It is up to you to accessorize to flesh the room out. You might consider an analogous palette in order to make less of the sofa you don't really like. I have some great information on how to use the color wheel to develop an analogous color scheme on my web site. Please visit and feel free to email with questions. Best, Rodd

Q:What is microfiber in relation to sofa. Is it good or bad ?

Today it is called microfiber but it is a man made replacement fabric that simulates mohair. Mohair was used big time up until the 50s because it is so durable. But its cost when up so high it was priced out of the market. ???????????

Q:What's the average length and width of a sectional sofa?

I have used a rug doctor before with an upolstery attachment. Worked miracles! You can rent them at most grocery stores, home improvement stores and pet stores. Resolve also makes a new cleaner for fabrics you can't just throw in the wash. SUpposedly you spray it on and it cleans as it dries. I've never used it so I can't attest to its effectiveness.

Q:My 19 year old step son ate a greasy breakfast, sitting on my fine designer sofa. He knows NOT to eat any thing sitting on the sofa, and that he is to sit at the table, or bar, when eating. ( His dad and I were out of town.) His plate spilled on to the sofa, and he smeared the food on it, trying to clean it up. The sofa is now stained. We have tried cleaning it with stain remover and upholstery cleaner. The area around the stain has lightened up and the stain remains. So, my designer sofa, that I purchased before I married the teen's dad, is damaged.It will be very expensive to replace the damaged designer sofa. I told my husband I think the teen should pay for some of the damage. What is your opinion? Do you think the teen should pay anything?

I think you are being petty. If you want a new sofa pay for it yourself. I have cleaned up all kinds of spills on carpets and chair and left no stain behind. Your sofa was probably made of cheap material and you should have had it scotch guarded when you bought it. Or you used the wrong kind of cleaner or applied it in an incorrect way.

Q:Is it recomended or not or will it ruin the sofa if I do?

hey yes of course, you gotta take care of your stuff as it is a part of you therefore your keeping yourself looking good:)

Q:I'm sofa shopping and found one I like. It is 101 W x 44D x 42 H. My door is 33 W and 78 tall. I don't think the feet of the couch are removable. I'm worried it won't fit. Any help?

The main thing here is the width, if your door is 33 wide then if you can turn the couch to be less than 33 even like 32 then you can wedge it through. If you can't then, this couch will not be able to go though the door. Good Luck!
