I have their nomad leather sectional and I've been quite happy with it. I had a back slat break on one section and Burrow sent me that whole section, so now I have back up cushions should I ever need them. Other than that slat, my sofa has held up well to 18 months of use by two very heavy adults, two rambunctious boys (9 and 13), and two cats (that have been good about not clawing it).

I find the cushions a bit stiff, but not so much that it is uncomfortable. The cushions have done a great job of keeping firm. The leather has held up well. The sofa sits on the low side, but I also think the size and height work well within my space. It was a gamble to purchase something like this online, but I have no regrets.

Excuse my cluttered home that is in major need of remodeling. Here is a recently photo.

I was so disappointed in the Burrow couch (Field Sofa) we purchased for $1800+. It's uncomfortable and flimsy. The assembly was much more difficult than the sped-up video from the marketing department implies - took several hours - you have to get screws to catch in multiple places and the production quality is so poor - the plastic bits holding the bottom of the couch together are stapled on, and kept popping off. Made in Vietnam. The couch looks visually just as appealing as in the pictures, but nowhere good to rest/lean, super super firm (I like reasonably firm - but this is more like a bench), metal bits that literally gouged my partner's arm when he was trying to nap, and in fact even our dog won't sit on this couch it's so uncomfortable, and she's a couch potato. :( I really wanted this couch to work out and it was such a mistake.

Oh wow HU--so glad to know. I was planning on going to the storefront in NYC to test before purchasing.

I got the off white Nomad sofa six months ago. It is firm, and I like firm. The olefin fabric is holding up and cleans easily, and is smooth to the touch. The cat has not scratched it. Shipping was fast which was critical, and customer service responsive with a minor glitch. I’m sure I’ll be happy with it as long as I need it.

For anyone comparing these now, I’d separate the Nomad and Field rather than treating the mixed experiences here as reviews of the same couch. For the Nomad, the useful question is whether you want firm, upright seating or a deeper sofa for curling up. Also ask about replacement cushions/connectors for the exact generation you’re buying; an older owner’s successful repair doesn’t establish current parts availability.

I run ROOMXLAB, and our research-based Nomad review pulls together owner reports and independent sources: https://shop.roomxlab.com/products/burrow-sofa-nomad-sofa . Its owner-review pool spans different Nomad pieces, fabrics and generations—not just this three-seat sofa—so we flag that limitation. The page may earn us a commission from qualifying purchases.
