BRAND #1: Edloe Finch
Founded by former NFL linebacker Darryl Sharpton, Edloe Finch is a furniture brand that tackles style and comfort with the same determination as a goal-line stand. Their sofas, with their clean lines and mid-century modern flair, reflect a blend of athleticism and elegance. Sharing a connection with the popular Albany Park brand, Edloe Finch stands out with its commitment to quality materials and non-toxic practices. While they may not shout their sustainability efforts from the rooftops, their actions speak volumes. Edloe Finch is a brand for those who appreciate a modern aesthetic, value comfort and durability, and want a sofa that's as unique as their personal style.
Edloe Finch | Brand Summary
Edloe Finch gets a solid thumbs up from me! Their mid-century modern pieces have that cool, understated vibe, but more importantly, the quality feels truly built to last. Sure, the prices aren't bargain bin level, but when you compare the construction to other brands, you're actually getting a great deal. Plus, Edloe Finch customer service seems top-notch, and the vibe of the company feels refreshingly down-to-earth.
Overall, I see Edloe Finch as a real contender in the online furniture space. If you're into classic design with modern finishes and a focus on quality, they're definitely worth checking out. Edloe Finch furniture won't transform your life, but it'll definitely make your living room way cooler, and more comfy to boot.
Mid-century modern aesthetic with a contemporary twist
Durable construction with kiln-dried hardwood frames
Various cushion options for personalized comfort
Free shipping
30-day return policy
Customer-friendly service with clear communication
Commitment to using non-toxic materials
Cons
Limited fabric information (e.g., rub counts)
Return shipping fees (10% of item price, capped at $200)
Limited transparency about manufacturing origins
Could offer more sustainability certifications
No specific stain-resistant treatments on fabrics
Edloe Finch brings a breath of fresh air to the furniture scene with their mid-century modern designs and commitment to quality. Their sofas boast durable construction and comfortable cushions, promising years of stylish lounging. However, a little more transparency about fabric specs and manufacturing origins would be a welcome addition.
While their free shipping and generous return policy are definite pluses, be prepared to shell out extra for in-home delivery and setup. Plus, if your furry friend has an accident on the couch, you might be wishing for a stain-resistant fabric option.
But hey, no sofa is perfect! Edloe Finch's focus on quality materials, eco-conscious practices, and customer satisfaction make them a strong contender in the furniture market. If you're vibing with their aesthetic and prioritize comfort and durability, Edloe Finch might just be your new best friend.
Inside Weather was founded in 2018 with the goal of bringing sustainable, eco-friendly, modular sofas to the masses. Their Bondi Sofa is extremely stylish and has become an incredibly popular option for families.
Inside Weather | Brand Summary
Inside Weather has a gorgeous website and an incredible emphasis on sustainability. They only offer two couches, including the versatile and comfortable Bondi sectional, which is particularly well-suited for households with pets and children. The Bondi sectional is praised for its durability, modern aesthetics, ease of maintenance, and flexible modular design that enhances living space functionality. Both couches are beautiful and extremely customizable (thanks in no small part to the hundreds of cleanable fabric options).
However, the questionable material quality for the price, the farce of a 365 day trial period, and the lack of customer review transparency undermines an otherwise nice offering.
Massive emphasis on sustainability (sustainably-sourced hardwood frames)
Free shipping (orders over $1,500)
High quality, eco-friendly fabric options (some machine washable!)
Cons
Misleading and pricey 365-day home trial return option
Only a 1-year warranty
No spring support system
Assembly can be challenging
Only 2 in-person showrooms
You might love the way Inside Weather’s Bondi Sofa looks, but here are a few things to consider before you buy it. The return policy of Insider Weather can be misleading and pricey. The 10-25% return fee is based on pre-discounted pricing. And with such large discounts (sometimes 50% off), you could spend thousands to return your Bondi Sofa.
While we love the style of the Bondi Inside Weather couch and its hardwood frame, the support system is elastic webbing, which isn’t super durable and it isn’t great at this price point.
If you don’t pony up for the white glove delivery, you could face a challenging assembly process.
But don’t let the cons spook you. Inside Weather’s Bondi has plenty of pros. There are tons of ways to configure and customize your Bondi Sofa. Inside Weather also has tremendous, eco-friendly fabric options to choose from. They’re super cleanable and many are machine washable.
Their hardwood frames are sustainably sourced, and many of their materials have eco-friendly benefits, too.
Any order over $1,500 ships free, and you can add on white glove delivery (including assembly) for only $175. That’s a budget-friendly white glove option, especially with the amount of assembly required.
The Bondi is also made in the USA using high-quality craftsmanship. This majorly cuts down on Inside Weather’s carbon footprint.
In the ultimate face-off between Edloe Finch and Inside Weather, one brand stands out as the superior choice. Edloe Finch clinches the win with its faster lead times, more budget-friendly pricing, diverse fabric selection, and financing options, making it the ideal pick for anyone looking for style, flexibility, and value in their couch purchase.
