LA Times Names Clad Home Best American-Made Sofa Store

We're thrilled to share that Clad Home was recently named one of the best places to buy an American-made sofa!

Here's the report from the LA Times by staff writer Lisa Boone:

Direct-to-consumer is big these days when in come to purchasing a sofa. 

But with so many options to consider — chaise or no chaise? Performance fabric or linen? Foam or down cushions? Extra deep seating or regular? — it’s hard to imagine purchasing a big-ticket item like a sofa sight unseen.

Recognizing the importance of testing sofas in person, we’ve curated a list of Los Angeles retailers who manufacture their products locally. This ensures that you can personally experience the furnishings, tailor them to your preferences, and anticipate a quick turnaround, all from the comfort of your own neighborhood.

By choosing heirloom-quality furniture from a local business, you’re not just investing in longevity and comfort. You’re also making a responsible choice, preventing the purchase of inexpensive “fast furniture” that might end up in a landfill. At your local furniture showroom, there’s a perfect piece for everyone, all of which we’ve tested ourselves.

Interior designer Rosa Beltran started Clad Home on Melrose Avenue in 2015 after struggling to find quality custom furnishings available and accessible to all. “As an interior designer, I saw a lack of quality custom furniture available to anyone not working with an expensive interior designer,” Beltran said. “I wanted to bring everyone the same level of customization, design flexibility and heirloom quality furniture previously reserved for the clients of high-end interior designers only.”

The sunny East Hollywood showroom offers a great mixture of clean-lined furnishings including sofas, chairs and ottomans. Not all inventory is on the showroom floor, so if you’re looking for something in particular consult the expansive website or their friendly sales staff (who will send you home with fabric samples).

Sofas can be ordered in any size or configuration, from loveseat to sectional, and are available in more than 200 fabrics, including customers’ own material (COM). Frames are made of solid alder wood and most of the sofas on offer are available as sleeper sofas as well. Turnaround time is about 8-10 weeks for custom sofas and nationwide shipping is FREE. They also have a selection of “quick-ship” sofas and sectionals available to ship from downtown Los Angeles in just 3-4 weeks.

Open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday; you can also book an appointment online for in-person or virtual assistance.
