AllModern: Your Top Questions Answered Before Buying a Sofa

AllModern: Your Top Questions Answered Before Buying a Sofa

So, you’re thinking about getting a sofa from AllModern, but you’ve got questions. I get it. Buying a new couch can feel like a big commitment. Is it durable? What’s the price like? And what about delivery? While AllModern have made their mark on the modern furniture scene, there’s a lot more to know before you click “buy.”

As someone who’s spent years digging into the ins and outs of the furniture world, I’m here to help you cut through the noise by answering some of the biggest questions you might have before bringing an AllModern sofa home.

1. What is AllModern?

AllModern is a brand aimed at making modern design accessible to more people without breaking the bank. They focus on stylish, clean-lined furniture, from sofas and sectionals to beyond. They’re also part of the Wayfair family, so you’ll find a ton of variety at competitive prices.

2. Who owns AllModern?

AllModern.com is owned by Wayfair, which is a big player in the online furniture world. That’s actually a good thing because it means AllModern can leverage Wayfair’s massive supply chain to offer a broader range of products, faster shipping, and solid financing options. You get the perks of a big brand but still enjoy AllModern’s unique, modern vibe.

3. Where is AllModern furniture made?

AllModern furniture is sourced domestically and from abroad. I’ve found that the USA-made custom couches tend to offer better quality, but they can be harder to spot on their site. A lot of their more affordable, ready-made sofas are imported, so you’ve got options depending on your budget and what you’re looking for.

4. Where is AllModern located?

AllModern operates entirely online, so it doesn’t have physical stores. The company is headquartered under the Wayfair umbrella in Boston, Massachusetts, but everything happens through their website, AllModern.com. Their online-only experience ensures lower overhead costs, meaning better prices for you.

5. Where does AllModern ship from?

AllModern ships from several distribution centers across the U.S., but it really depends on what you’re buying. Their USA-made custom pieces are shipped straight from the manufacturer, while their imported sofas usually come from a U.S.-based warehouse. Either way, their shipping times are generally pretty fast.

6. Does AllModern ship internationally?

Nope, at least not for now. AllModern only ships within the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii. If you’re outside the U.S., Wayfair might be a better option since they do offer international shipping for some items.

7. How often does AllModern restock?

Restocking is kind of a mixed bag with AllModern. Some of their more popular, in-stock pieces are quickly replenished, but custom items can take longer. If you see something you love, I always recommend grabbing it before it’s gone—because once it’s out of stock, it could be a while before it returns.

8. Is AllModern online only?

Yes, 100% online. You won’t find any AllModern showrooms or brick-and-mortar stores. Everything happens through their website, which makes things super convenient but also means you can’t “try before you buy.” That’s why it’s crucial to read reviews and order a few swatches before committing to a sofa.

9. Can you use a Wayfair credit card at AllModern?

Definitely! Since AllModern is part of the Wayfair family, you can use your Wayfair credit card on AllModern.com. It’s a great way to spread out payments and take advantage of their financing options—just make sure to pay it off within the promotional period to avoid interest charges.

10. What are AllModern's best-selling couches?

One of AllModern’s standout sofas is the Geo 84" Upholstered Sofa. It has a timeless, minimalist design that fits in almost any living room, and it’s reasonably priced too. Another best-seller is the Calore 89” Genuine Leather Sofa with solid wood frame and foam-filled cushions.

11. How much do AllModern couches cost?

AllModern’s prices run the gamut. You’ll find sofas as low as $900, but if you’re willing to spend more, you can get something upwards of $2,000. On average, you’re looking at around $1,300, which is a pretty good deal for the level of style and quality they offer. I always tell people—don’t just go for the cheapest option. Check the specs, materials, and reviews to make sure it’s going to last.

12. Does AllModern offer free delivery?

Yes, and this is where AllModern shines. Many of their couches come with free white glove delivery, which means they’ll not only bring the couch into your home, but they’ll set it up in the room of your choice and haul away the packaging. You can choose from different paid delivery options for couches that don’t qualify for free white glove service.

13. How long does AllModern take to deliver couches?

AllModern is pretty quick, especially if the couch is in stock. Some items ship out in as little as 2-3 days, and delivery can take anywhere from 4 to 17 days depending on your location. For their custom-made USA couches, you’re looking at a longer timeline—around 3-5 weeks to build, plus another couple of weeks for delivery.

14. Does AllModern offer customization options for couches?

Yes, and it’s one of the things I really appreciate about AllModern. Their USA-made custom couches come with a good selection of fabrics (up to 34 choices in some cases), though they could offer more options for things like leg stains. For most of their imported sofas, customization is pretty limited to fabric selection, but there’s still enough variety to find something that fits your style.

15. Are AllModern couches durable?

I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum when it comes to durability. Their USA-made custom sofas are solid—think strong frames and high-quality materials. Some of the imported models, though, might not stand up to heavy use over time. My advice? Always check the frame construction and fabric specs before buying. If it’s a piece you’ll use daily, it’s worth spending a bit more on durability.

16. What materials are AllModern couches made from?

AllModern uses a mix of materials depending on the couch. For their custom pieces, you’ll usually see polyester fabrics or leather and frames made from solid + manufactured wood. With the imported options, there’s a bit more variety, but again, be sure to check the product page for details on materials so you know exactly what you’re getting.

17. Does AllModern offer a warranty on their couches?

Yes, they do. Most of their USA-made couches come with a 3-year warranty on the frame, which is pretty solid. For imported items, it varies, but you’ll usually see a 1-year limited warranty. As always, be sure to read the warranty details before you buy so you know what’s covered and what’s not.

18. Can I return a couch to AllModern?

You can, but there are a few hoops to jump through. AllModern offers a 30-day return window, but the couch has to be in its original condition and packaging. Once it’s assembled, returns aren’t allowed unless there’s a manufacturer defect, so I always recommend making sure it’s the right fit before you break out the toolbox.

19. Are there fabric swatches available for AllModern couches?

Yes, AllModern offers free fabric swatches, which is great if you’re trying to match a specific color scheme or want to see how the fabric feels. The only downside is that swatches are mostly available for their custom-made couches, and the availability of imported models can be hit or miss.

20. How do AllModern couches compare to other brands like IKEA or Article?

AllModern is definitely in the same league as IKEA and Article when it comes to modern design at affordable prices. Where they stand out, though, is in their USA-made custom options, which offer a level of quality and craftsmanship that IKEA doesn’t really compete with. If you’re looking for more unique designs or better materials, AllModern might be the way to go. Check out our couch comparison articles to learn more!
