Hey CT - sorry we&#039;re so slow - we&#039;ve had a few things going on here that threw us for a loop in the response department! Andella did it for us. And I would not put the cushions in the washing machine - I&#039;d have it professionally cleaned. I hope the coupon code is still valid - you may to contact them with an email and ask to make sure - have an awesome week!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Did you scotch guard the sofa yourself or does Andella&#039;s offer that service? Can you wash the cushions in the washing machine? So glad I saw your sofa on Instagram! I plan on ordering it at the end of the month with your coupon code. Thanks for sharing!]]></description>

Hey Christine - I do not know about the exact name, but it&#039;s like a linen blend {a thick linen} on our sofa. Occasional spots do show, but they clean up well. That&#039;s just life, I guess. ;} It&#039;s fabulous, I must say, in comparison to a white sofa. It&#039;s our happy medium. I hope that helps!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love the Chesterfield but I&#039;m looking for something a little more casual like the PB Basic Sectional but wondering what kind of fabric is on the Chesterfield. I love love love the white look but with 3 boys and 3 dogs I think I would be crying more than enjoying it but I like the color of your sectional and I can compromise.  I must say I&#039;ve had all sorts of couches in my day.  Florals, tone on tone checks, white but in the basement family room where no one sat on it and they all seem to be equally difficult to keep clean.  The only type I haven&#039;t had is a washable slipcovered so that&#039;s where I am heading next but curious as to what type of fabric is on the chesterfield so I can see if it&#039;s available for the PB basic.]]></description>

Hey Kate thanks so much for dropping by and the kind words! We say DO IT! We have absolutely nothing to gain from telling you this... other than our own personal experience. It&#039;s totally been worth it. You can see a recent photo with the cushions unfluffed in our recent home tour for fall &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehandmadehome.net/2014/09/simple-fall-decor-from-the-handmade-home/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; you can see a small amount of sagging, and that&#039;s only because we were lazy and haven&#039;t fluffed/rotated our cushions in a while so it just happens. But that&#039;s easily remedied. I hope that helps as an honest answer - we are very happy with our sofa. It sheds feathers, but has held up splendidly! We have been extremely pleased with this sofa. It&#039;s been worth it. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehandmadehome.net/sofa-policies-why-ill-never-go-white-again/#comment-502099&quot;&gt;alyse&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Alyse!  Did you end up getting the sofa?  And did you end up scotch guarding it yourself, or did you have Andella do it for you?  We have a newborn, two dogs and a cat. Am I crazy to buy this sofa?!  It is this or a washable white slipcovered sofa. But based on Ashley&#039;s experience, I&#039;m leaning towards my dream sofa which has always been a chesterfield.  (I don&#039;t want to do any &quot;bereaved planking&quot; either way...).  Also -- did you get the 118&quot; or the 90&quot;?

Ashley -- I love your &quot;voice&quot; in your blog posts! So good. Question: how do the cushions and fabric hold up?  Any sagging? Our current sofa also has some down fill and it sags like no other...we want to avoid that with the new sofa we buy.

Thanks!!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi there!

I actually purchased this exact sofa (thanks to your glowing reviews) and had a question for you regarding scotch-guard?  Did you buy the cans at the store and go to town or did you have this professionally done? I noticed you said you had it scotch-guarded so didn&#039;t know if that is something someone did for you.

I&#039;ve got a few cans I purchased for this sofa, but now I am a little scared to use until I know :)

Thank you!!
