Everything You Need To Know About the Article Timber Sectional – Review

Welcome welcome welcome to the blog friends! This post has been requested for a really long time, even before I had the Timber sectional from Article.  Also, read to the bottom for a special offer.

Over the last year I’ve received a ton of questions on Article sofas as well as competitor sofas.This blog is going to give you the low down on the quality and feel of the Timber leather sectional from Article, as well, if it’s right fit for you.

Prior to owning the Timber sectional from Article, we owned a very similar sofa from a Canadian competitor. That sofa did NOT hold up very well and when we finally received the Timber sectional we were very pleasantly surprised.

Here are the main key factors in WHY I love this sofa so much:

• Feather-filled cushions. Other competitors have low quality fill. This one from Article has the perfect combination of high density foam with feather fill so it hits the right balance of firm, but soft. 
• High quality leather. The Timber sectional is made from full-aniline leather and has two colour options. The Charme Tan leather is a timeless colour that wrinkles and ages in a natural way and gives it more character over time. Other brands can wrinkle and look used and old. The character of Article sofas actually make the sofa more beautiful the more you use it.
• Configuration options. This sectional is not only available in the corner silhouette we got, but a right and left chaise L-option, a 3 seater sofa, and a chair. So if you’re into the flared leg, mid-century modern style of the Timber but don’t have the space for this exact sectional, there’s an option for your home. 
• High density foam. I suspect that this sofa will not suffer from any sagging issues due to the quality of the foam used in the cushions. 
• Extremely easy assembly. All of the cushions are labeled so it’s impossible to misplace them and the legs are very easy to screw in. The two pieces also clip together easily so they don’t move around as you use it. And if you’re not interested in assembling yourself, you can even opt for Article’s inside and assembly delivery option ($169 value). 

It says it fits 5, but it can fit our entire family of six with room to spare. We love this sectional as not only it’s beautiful but it’s also huge, but yet, it would work in a small space like a condo as it is compact.

We live in a small 1300 square foot rancher, and it fits perfectly.

Questions I’ve received:

Would you recommend Article leather sofas to families with kids?

Yes. When I first got the sofa, our son spilled his bottle of water on the sofa and it soaked in (as this leather does not repel water, it’s a soft leather). But over time, it lifts out. You can also put a leather protectant on it too if you would rather not have to wait for watermarks to lift out.

How comfortable is the sofa?

Comfortable enough to sleep on. Really. If you go on to Article’s review section on their website, this sofa scores pretty high and in quite a few of the reviews, people say how comfortable it is.

They definitely did not sacrifice comfort for looks.

Does it scratch easily?

Not nearly as easily as other leather sofas we have owned. The thing about full-aniline leather is it is not processed and is very soft. It does age with use and is stunning. Unlike bonded leather sofas you will find in a big box store that sag and crinkle over time and lose all of their value, this sofa does not lose its value as it ages beautifully with time.

As mentioned above, if you want to protect the sofa, you can put a protectant on it. We have not.

Do the cushions come off the sofa?

Yes, they come completely off. Also, each seat and back cushion zip right off for cleaning.

For us, it is the perfect mix of style and comfort. As a family with four young kids, we needed a sofa that will put up with a beating and look good. We needed a sofa that won’t stain and that is also compact in our small space.

This sofa completely fits the bill and I would 100% recommend any sofa from Article as we now have 4 pieces from this amazing company and every single piece has held up to our four little humans and keeps looking as amazing as when we received it
