Furniture + furnishing options for review

April 2026 · No images (text-only)

Frame: Nothing here is locked. Each category shows 3 options across different styles. "My top pick" is marked in each group — it's an opinion, not a decision. Style direction: comfy, expensive/clean looking, function over aesthetic. Images are being handled separately; this doc is text-only for share-ability.
Phase 1 — Primary rooms (actively scoped)
01

3rd Floor Den Man-Cave

Room direction

Man-cave, cozy, function over elegance. Rugged beats refined. Carpet floor, Percy as wear factor (performance fabric required). 98" TV wall working direction, 7.1.2 Atmos target (details in separate AV doc). Sectional pulled 12-18" off back wall for rear-surround clearance. Ottoman replaces coffee table — drink surfaces start with a tray-on-ottoman and add side/C-tables only if it fails in practice.

Corner Sectional

Previously shortlisted — revisit with man-cave direction in mind. Big Sur moves up; R&B Metro may drop.
My top pick ★ Lily's pick
Pottery Barn Big Sur sectional
Den · Sectional
Pottery Barn Big Sur 3-pc Corner
~120"×120" · 26" seat depth · multiple fabrics
Deepest seat of the three (26" vs 22-24"). Loose cushions, broken-in look fits man-cave brief. Sunbrella fabric is genuinely Percy-resistant. Sit-test at PB Bellevue Square. Buy on sale only (20-25% off brings list $5,499 to ~$4,200).

Burrow Nomad King 6-seat
~124"×124" · 24" seat depth · olefin
Modular, clips together. Ships in small boxes — matters for 3rd-floor delivery. Olefin fabric is pet-tested. Square/modern silhouette reads less "cozy man-cave," more "urban modern." Rearrangeable later. USB ports in arms.

Room and Board Metro sectional
Den · Sectional
Room & Board Metro 3-pc
~115"×108" · 22" seat depth · Crypton avail.
Build quality is the real thing — lifetime frame warranty, US-made, Crypton fabric beats olefin for pet durability. White-glove delivery included. Shallower seat than Big Sur. Style reads "refined/understated" not "cave" — may fight the room direction.

Den · Bar/Sideboard · Reclaimed industrial
Reclaimed Wood + Metal Bar Console
60–72" wide · open bay ~19"×33"
Thick plank top, steel frame legs, open bay for freestanding undercounter fridge. Rugged finish, visible hardware — right aesthetic for man-cave brief. Multiple makers $640-1,200 (Timbergirl, Jofran, Crafters & Weavers). Buy fridge separately — 24" beverage center $400-700.

Crate & Barrel Cantina bar cabinet
Den · Bar/Sideboard · Refined
Crate & Barrel Cantina Bar Cabinet
33"W × 15.75"D × 43.25"H · no fridge bay
Reclaimed teak + mango, marble top. Too narrow for 95" wall — use as paired/standalone. No fridge bay, so fridge lives separately. Leans "refined" over "cave" — flagging because you said no wet bar, but style sits closer to elegant. Bestseller, 77+ reviews.

IKEA BESTÅ / SEKTION Hack
Wall-sized · fits 95" exactly · custom bay
Best value, most "custom" looking for the money. Configure to exact wall width, custom bay for the fridge you pick. BESTÅ in walnut-stained oak effect or black-brown. Add butcher-block or quartz top ($200-400). Requires afternoon of assembly. Least "man-cave," most versatile.

Fridge separately: 24" beverage center (Newair 177-can, Kalamera, EUHOMY) runs $400–700. Front-venting design required for built-in/enclosed install — every option above is front-vented. Glass door shows contents; solid door hides. Your call when you pick the cabinet.

Media Console Parked

Wait until sectional picked — height/finish should match.
Under the 98" wall-mounted TV. Needs 60"+ wide (TV is 85.6" wide, console should be at least 70% of TV width for proportion), low profile (22–26" tall), holds receiver + Apple TV + consoles. Reopen after sectional decision — finish and leg style should coordinate.
02

Kitchen Living Area

Room direction

Primary daily room. Open-plan with kitchen and dining visible. Fireplace on back wall. Sliding door + bay window opens to the backyard. Nothing from prior sessions is committed — Sven was never actually selected. Style: comfy, clean, expensive-looking, function over aesthetic. Casual, lived-in. Percy-friendly.

Primary Sofa

Faces fireplace, floats in middle of room (back visible from kitchen). ~82–88" wide. No sectional (sightline + traffic flow). Lily ruled out leather. Performance fabric, Percy wear factor. Cushion brief: comfy/cradling. Firm/upright is OUT. "Comfy quietly expensive" overall — heart-of-the-house casual gathering, not formal.
★ Lily's pick
West Elm Harmony sofa
Kitchen Living · Sofa · Plush/Slouchy
West Elm Harmony 82"
82"W × 41"D × 34"H · 23" seat depth · performance fabric
Deepest-seat option, "sink in" comfy. Down-blend cushions plump back easily. Performance fabric available. Reviews flag cushion maintenance (fluffing) as ongoing. Leans casual/plush, not clean-lined. West Elm sales (~25% off) hit regularly. 41" depth is the most you can fit comfortably with the floating layout (sofa back to kitchen island still leaves walking room).

Kitchen Living · Sofa · Plush + Square Arm
Pottery Barn Big Sur Square Arm Sofa
76", 86", 96", 105" sizes · square arm · upholstered or slipcovered · 100+ fabric options including Sunbrella + Perennials performance
Same family as the den's sectional candidate, in standalone-sofa form. Square arm reads more architectural than Harmony's rolled. Upholstered version stays clean-looking; slipcover version is washable (real win for Percy). Performance fabrics include Sunbrella and Perennials, both bulletproof. 86" is the right size for the great room.

Off-brief. Clean lines + tighter cushions + 37" depth = upright/architectural feel. Build quality and "buy-once" tier are excellent, but the brief is comfy/cradling and Metro doesn't deliver that. Better fit for a more formal living room. Dropping from active consideration.

Benchmade with kiln-dried hardwood, Flexolator springs, fiber-down blend cushions. Deep 41" seat for sink-in comfort but with a more architectural shape than Harmony. Taft fabric is rated kid/pet friendly though not technically labeled "performance." Mid-range price. Strong reviews. Good middle ground between Harmony's slouch and Metro's structure.

Off-brief on two counts. Low-slung MCM track arms = firm + architectural feel, opposite of cradling. And polyester weave at $1,099 is the cheap-tier of "comfy quietly expensive" — every other piece in the house is designer/heritage build. Dropping from active consideration.

Kitchen Living · Sofa · Slipcover Plush
Sixpenny Neva 84"
84"W · cloud-like fluffy comfort · 100% removable washable slipcover · cotton, linen, or 100% recycled fabric options
The "wash it" option. Slipcover fully removable + machine washable, so Percy and any spills are recoverable in a way no upholstered sofa is. Cloud-like sink-in seats — even more plush than Harmony. Sixpenny is a direct-to-consumer brand, fabric quality is real. Risk: the slipcover look reads casual/farmhouse, may not match if the great room ends up refined. Free shipping.

Active candidates (in-brief: comfy/cradling + quietly expensive):
  • Crate & Barrel Lounge 83" ($1,826+) — soy-foam wrapped in fiber-down blend, 41" deep sink-in seat, kiln-dried hardwood frame, Flexolator springs. Best build-to-comfort ratio of the candidates.
  • PB Big Sur Square Arm 86" ($1,899–3,899) — down-blend wraps over foam core, plush + properly built, performance fabric (Sunbrella, Perennials) options. Same family as the den's sectional candidate.
  • Sixpenny Neva 84" ($1,549–2,899) — most cloud-like of the candidates, feather/down with foam core, fully washable slipcover (real Percy win). Risk: slipcover reads casual.
  • West Elm Harmony 82" ★ Lily ($1,900–2,700) — deepest seat depth, plush/slouchy, performance fabric. Borderline on the "quietly expensive" brief: reviews flag ongoing cushion fluffing as maintenance, mid-tier build vs. C&B/PB.
Dropped: Article Sven 88" Charme Tan (leather, ruled out by Lily) · Room & Board Metro 87" (off-brief: too upright, clean-lined) · Article Ceni 83" (off-brief: firm low MCM + cheap-tier polyester weave at $1,099 is the cheap version of the look).

Article Lenia oval coffee table
Kitchen Living · Coffee Table
Article Lenia 53.5" Oval
53.5"L × 27.5"W × 15"H · walnut
Oval surfboard shape — no sharp corners (Percy-safe), organic shape softens the open-plan room. Spindle shelf below holds books/blankets. Low 15" profile works with any sofa. 4.7 stars / 309 reviews. Walnut veneer, but the shape is doing the work.

ET Wood Crafts Handcrafted Low Table — Walnut, Smooth Surface, 40"W × 24"D × 16"H
40"W × 24"D × 16"H · sculptural organic form · low Japanese-influenced silhouette
Soft-locked: Walnut color (cool dark brown, contrasts jatoba floor cleanly), Smooth Surface finish (PU base + PU gloss topcoat, satin sheen — pairs with the satin floor and lets the sculpted form be the hero), 40×24 size (fits under realistic sofa, bigger size 47×28 would dominate the 9-ft-ceiling room). Brown finish was rejected (too warm-on-warm with jatoba), Oak rejected (reads cool/floating against the warm palette). Natural Rough finish rejected (texture competes with the form). Continues a quiet walnut through-line in the house (Thuma master bed, Maverick fan blades, now this).

Uttermost Volker 48"

Companion Chair Entertaining

Per floor-plan sketch: one chair placed alongside the sectional in the open kitchen living layout. Adds vetted-car-community entertaining seating without crowding. Arc lamp (per Lily) reaches over it — no side table needed. Must jell with the sectional (Sven tan leather if that wins). Bookcase relocated to Open Study/Office §06.

Bookcase + Lower Cabinet (per Lily) — same nook, different form factor

Idea: closed cabinet at the bottom hides the modem, open shelves above for books/decor + Eero unit on a high shelf. Drill cable pass-through holes between the cabinet and the back, and through the shelf where Eero sits. Different form factor than a sideboard — same 48" nook, but goes vertical instead of horizontal.

Open shelves above (where Eero lives, easy to drill cable pass-through), closed cabinet at the bottom (modem hides cleanly). 36"W leaves 6" each side of the 48" nook — generous breathing room.

LOCKED. 72" is the practical max for the 11'×10'8" dining room (30" clearance each end). Reclaimed pine reads warm + rustic, plays with the jatoba floor + beadboard wainscoting, and breaks the walnut creep through the public sightlines (master + great room are walnut; dining gets its own wood identity).

Entry · Bench
Target Thatcher 36" — Black
36"W × 10"D × 18"H · solid rubberwood
Studio McGee design, solid rubberwood, angled black legs. Fits arch-to-arch. Not upholstered but solid wood slab seat — fine for shoe-tying. No upholstered bench exists in 34-38" width; this is the right call at $120.

Keys/mail: Wall-mounted floating shelf works better than a table here given the tight wall. West Elm Floating Metal Shelf 24" in black — $99. Mounts above or near the bench.

Console — 55" wall

44-52" wide max. Pairs with cherry floors — warm wood or whitewashed. Mirror or art above.

Article Kirun 47" — White Oak
47"W × 14"D × 29.5"H · solid white oak
Lighter warm wood that pairs cleanly with cherry — same family, different value so they don't compete. Open lower shelf adds function. Solid American white oak, not MDF. 4.7/5 reviews. Best value of the three at $299.

West Elm Stowe 48" — Cerused White
48"W × 16"D × 30"H · solid mango wood
Whitewashed finish reads almost painted — warm but distinctly lighter than the cherry floor. Scandinavian base, sculptural. The "interesting" pick of the three. 16" depth — confirm fits entry.

West Elm Tanner 44 black console

West Elm Tanner 44" — Black
44"W × 16"D × 30"H · solid hemlock
Sharp black solid wood. Strongest contrast with cherry floors — crispest option. Leans away from "pair with floor" direction but a deliberate black piece in the entry can anchor the space well.

Hallway

Long corridor, ~79" wide, arched doorway framing view into kitchen. Cherry hardwood floors, white wainscoting, SW Alabaster walls. Recessed cans handle lighting. A runner grounds the space without cluttering it. At 79" wide a standard 2'6" runner leaves ~2.5' of floor on each side — a 3' wide runner fills the space better.

Runner Rugs

Target 3'×8' or 3'×10'. Warm tones that work with cherry floors.
Best fit for cherry floors
Loloi Layla brick blue vintage Persian runner
Hallway · Runner
Loloi Layla — Brick/Blue
2'6"×7'6" up to 2'6"×12' · polyester
Vintage Persian distressed in warm brick red + navy. Brick echoes the cherry floor tone, navy gives contrast. Classic pairing — the one that looks most intentional in this hallway.

Article Ceni Walnut Bench
46"W × 15"D × 17"H · walnut + woven
Solid walnut frame with woven seat. No upholstery to ruin. Narrower (15") than the West Elm — better for a tight corridor. Downside: Percy can chew the woven seat; less forgiving than fabric for a dog-adjacent piece.

Open Study / Office Decided

156"×129" (13'×10'9") per floor plan. Ornate white fireplace surround, tray ceiling, two decorative wall sconces, beadboard wainscoting. Use case settled: open study / office. Cardio equipment goes in the enclosed 147"×137" Study instead (keeps the garage free for 2 cars + strength training). Fireplace + sconces make this a natural library/study — the Clarke or Arti sconces in §04 of the lighting doc were already leaning this direction. Anchors: bookcase, accent chairs, arc lamp, desk (TBD). Primary sofa category dropped — room's too small with a fireplace to absorb an 85" sofa.

Accent Chairs ×2

Flanking coffee table, opposite the sofa.

Bookcase Relocated

Moved here from Kitchen Living — fits the study/office use case and Lily's arched pick was always aimed at this room. Books + closed lower for board games / office clutter. Room is 156"×129" — plenty of wall space, choice of wall drives which piece wins.

Upgradable later without regret. Shelves are particleboard — fine for average book loads, will sag under dense hardcover/reference runs.

Pottery Barn Aubrey 72" Double Lateral File Bookcase
72"W × 18"D × 80"H · solid poplar + MDF veneer
Closed lower = two lateral file drawers (real office function — hides tax records, warranties, the miscellaneous paper pile). Open upper shelves for books. Heritage Aubrey line styling — molding, plinth base, beadboard back panel, antique-bronze hardware. Wider than Logan (72" vs 60"), more office-utility than either Logan or Billy. Most "built-in library" read of the four.

Ebern Designs 70" Arched Display
~32"W × 14"D × 70"H · MDF + laminate
Lily's other arched pick — all open shelves (no closed lower). Skinnier than Red Barrel, more "display cabinet" than "working bookcase." Works if you want a decorative arched silhouette with curated objects + a smaller book count. MDF/laminate — fine for display loads, not dense reference/hardcover runs. No closed storage.

Red Barrel Studio 71 Arched Bookcase
Study/Office · Bookcase
Red Barrel Studio 71" 5-Tier Arched
~36"W × 14"D × 71"H · MDF + veneer
Lily's pick — arched silhouette, closed lower cabinet + open upper shelves = exactly the "bottom enclosure + max storage" spec. Visually the most distinctive of the three. ⚠ MDF/veneer — fine for decorative display, marginal for heavy book loads (shelves may sag or peel over 3–5 years). Upgrade alternative: Threshold × Studio McGee Holladay 72" (solid wood frame, same arched silhouette, ~$160–200) — but open shelves only, no closed lower.

70" reach · matte black
Plug-in arc lamp with matte black finish. Solves the zero-overhead-lighting problem immediately. Use 2700K warm bulb. Under $150. Read Amazon reviews for the version with the integrated LED vs replaceable bulb — you want replaceable.

CB2 Big Dipper Arc
80" reach · aged brass + marble
Aged brass + white marble base. More "upscale" look than the Brightech. Heavier marble base = more stable (dog-tail-proof). 5× the price of the Brightech, so only worth it if the corner placement is a visible focal point.

Deferred. Primary Kitchen Living bookcase decision will determine what's worth adding. If you go IKEA Billy in Kitchen Living, a second matching Billy elsewhere costs ~$200. If you go PB Logan, a second Logan is $1,500+.
