Honest Review of the West Elm Marin Velvet Sofa

What Is My Honest Review?

The two West Elm Marin velvet sofas are my second set of sofas in two years. My previous two matching sofas were from Interior Define and I was quite displeased with them.

Shipping time

Many retailers have in stock availability but what I came to realize is that what’s listed on the website as in stock, or shipping soon, is not necessarily accurate.

Fabric choices

There are a ton of options when it comes to color and fabric and I ordered a lot of swatches

Wear and cleaning

The velvet fabrics are a polyester and cotton blend. They are probably better at stain removal than 100% cotton or velvet fabrics, but not as good as a performance fabric.

Cushions and comfort

My biggest complaint with our previous sofas was that the cushions and slipovers would become distorted and impossible to fix.

The layout

When we have guests we do not typically watch TV so it makes for the perfect conversation area of everyone facing each other.
