Hey, my girlfriend and I are in the process of researching sectionals. We want something that will hold up and will be easy to clean with a dog. We’d like to buy something for the long term, but don’t want to invest in something that will look dirty or worn down in a year or two. Any thoughts on sectionals from burrow vs room and board?

You might consider something with heavy duty (e.g., cotton duck) m, machine washable slipcovers. And buy extra slipcovers at the time of purchase.

Room and Board has been around a lot longer than burrow and make great furniture. Between the two R&B is the clear choice.

do they stop stocking slipcovers after a period of time?

I have a burrow sectional and a 35lb dog. I’ll never buy a burrow couch again. The cushions have lost most of their stiffness in a year and the frame construction is flimsy.

You’d have to research particular companies but it’s in their interest if you have to buy a new couch

Makes sense. I imagine there’s a lot of incentive for them to cycle through stock and introduce new styles every season to keep people changing

Burrow and Room and Board are in two different leagues as far as quality.

Get the Room and Board with Sumner fabric. My cat claws it every day and there isn’t a single pull in it. The Sumner fabric is meant to hold up against pets.
