Crate and Barrel Lounge sectional or Arhaus Kipton sectional?

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

We are looking for a sectional that is very comforable for watching tv but that is also attractive looking, since the tv room is still open to the kitchen and formal sitting room. We have decided that a comfortble size is 34-35” to rest our heads back on.

Narrowed down to Arhaus Kipton and Crate and Barrel Lounge.

Arhaus Kipton sectional: Tolliver Sand fabric $8200 after taxes and shipping. Cleaning code is SW) (80% polyester and 20% acrylic)

Crate and Barrel Lounge sectional: Ascend Desert $5790 after taxes and shipping Cleaning code is WS (fabric is 78% polyester and 22% cotton treated with a stain repellent finish)

Comparing the two, I would say the Lounge is deeper however both sectionals are the perfect height for us.

Anyone have either of these, feedback? Wondering which fabric is better and which sectional has better reviews. I do not care about the wait times, I am mindful that anywhere I purchase will have a wait because of COVID, so not taking any of that into consideration.

    I used to have the Lounge sofa then switched to the Kipton. I am in the process of trading the Kipton in for another lounge with the chaise. The fabrice on the cushions for the Kipton don't stay in place. They rotate and the seams don't line up with the lines of the cushions. It is driving me insane! Comfort-wise they are about the same. The Kipton is three inches less wide, so a bit of a difference in the sitting position.

    I just wanted to say that these are the two sectionals I am deciding between too. Which did you choose?

    We decided on the CB with the longer chaise with bumper. We upgraded to one of the newer linen like fabric Ascend in Desert. Still waiting for it

    I didn't realize it was offered with the bumper. That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks os much

    You’re welcome! We will post photos once it arrives. But yes, we prefered the look of the bumper instead of yhe open chaise, as ours is under two windows

    I have been happy to see Crate & Barrel bringing back the bumper sectionals. I was seriously considering the Axis bumper sectional, but ended up going with a different brand without a bumper (due to my specific use). Keep in mind that the C&B Lounge is really really deep. 29"! I have a 27" deep Room & Board sectional (with a bumper) and while I do love it, at 5'6" my feet definitely do not touch the ground sitting normally on it. I'm pretty sure 21"-23" seat depth is more "normal". I ordered something with a 24" depth for just a little extra depth for my 6'3" husband's long legs. The outside depth of the Arhaus Kipton is 2" less than the Lounge or you can order it an even shallower size. Just something to keep in mind when you're choosing.

    Any update on pictures of the couch! I am also looking to get one or the other so would love to see what the CB lounge sectional with the bumper looks like. Thanks!

    DO NOT BUY THE KIPTON OR FROM ARHAUS AT ALL. I bought the Kipton delivered 3 months ago. Just as other reviewers, the cushion sags and misshapes very easily on the sectional. I would never recommend this company or sectional to anyone.

    UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE trying to get replacement piece of damaged item. still going thru it after 3 months! I am going back to RH. Arhaus is just a copy of RH....less quality and customer service.

    We have had the CB Lounge with chaise bumper for awhile now. We really do like it. It keeps its shape and we have had no issues with it. I am happy it doesn’t sag. I love the chaise with bumper. It is very cozy and comfortable for our tv room. ( We had a RH sofa before and it sagged alot but it was mostly down, it was extra deep and we gave that to our dogs and they do love it!)

    We are still deciding on a new coffee table and window treatments but i hope these photos help.

    @kay - better that you went with CB. Your sectional looks great. I've had much better customer service with CB and CB2. We have a sofa in our other room from RH. yes, it's mostly down so it does sag easily but that's what is expected from mostly feather. It does go back to shape once you fluff it up. It would be a pain if I had to do it everyday. We don't use this room often so the sofa looks as new after 13 yrs. However, I don't think it would look as new if it was in our family room where it is used daily.
