I took delivery of my New Standard sectional/sofa thing from Blu Dot about two weeks ago now. To say I am dissatisfied with buying from them is an understatement. Part of this may be me not doing my own research, but their flat 9% freight fee that didn't include in-home delivery or assembly while Room and Board will do all of that for $79 felt like a money grab. My biggest complaint, however came with issues I ran into with assembly. The hardware that shipped with the legs seemed like a jumbled mess. 24 of the 32 screws provided to bolt the legs to the couch were about 25 mm long, while the remaining 8 were ~17mm long. Long enough to thread and torque down, but only just so. Worst of all was that the threaded inserts for the legs were not even drilled consistently. Two legs it was impossible to install one of the four screws because the inserts did not align with the pre-drilled legs. A third leg was a pain in the rear end, and barely lined up, but it required some tweaking. For the two legs that could not be properly installed I had to drill and file out the hole. I sent an angry email to the sales associate about these issues and they did immediately refund the 9% shipping fee, and the couch looks great, but these quality issues and their additional upcharge for shipping has turned me off to buying anything else from them that isn't a floor model that I can just transport myself.    All this being said, my wife and I really do like it-- but now we've got a long way to go as far as furnishing our house and getting some built-ins and more organization done.

You probably tried this, but in the off chance you didn't, you never tighten all the bolts in a multibolt fastener until all of them are at least started. But that's wrenching on cars101, and this isn't that forum so I'd give anyone the benefit of the doubt on that.

But that's wrenching on cars101, and this isn't that forum so I'd give anyone the benefit of the doubt on that. Am a car wrencher--- and definitely tried different orders of partially threading screws with slack in everything to get this threaded. One problem with the varying length bolts they shipped me was that the shorter ones were not long enough to thread without immediately clamping the leg to the couch. The photos I posted was what I sent to Blu Dot when I complained about their poor QC.

The Bloop posted:is it comfortable? I have the sofa version and it's extremely comfortable (mine has one of the maharam fabrics, I got it 45% off because it was used in a photoshoot), but sofa comfort is completely dependent on the person. Cushiness is personal taste, seat depth is going to be dependent on your height and size in general, and arms are more personal preference. MetaJew sorry you had such a bad experience. I've never had any issues with them, but they are also based here so I know main outlet manager pretty well. As for the shipping fee, I'd imagine part of it is that they are honestly much smaller than room and board. also just my opinion, but I would pull the rug forward so only about 3-6 inches are going behind the front legs. Typically if you are putting the whole rug under, you want it to be under the back legs as well.

Cushiness is personal taste, seat depth is going to be dependent on your height and size in general, and arms are more personal preference. I wish we could've gotten the Maharam fabric, but it wasn't available on the chaise, for some reason. Yeah the rug and stuff needs to be rearranged a bit, or I need to purchase a larger one to fit the space better. It just so happens that my neighbors' daughters gave our dog toy that isn't meant for a golden retriever puppy, because he managed to destroy it within 2 minutes and then swallowed a bunch of stuffing or string, or something. He's done stuff like this before and then has a gross poop when it passes, but this time he didn't finish his meal last night, and wasn't eating this morning. Around lunch time he barfed everything up, including the string onto the rug.  I scrubbed it as best as I can, but I'm going to need to rent a steam cleaner or some kind of carpet cleaner. As for the shipping fee, again I get that they aren't a "large" company, but I still think it's deceptive marketing. If literally every piece of large furniture will have to be shipped, and that is the fee they want to charge for it, they should just bake it into the price. This is almost entirely due to poor communication from the sales associate, but I still find it annoying. Wasabi the J posted:Epoxy some of these in there and bolt the hardware in. Those loose connections build up over time. I'm not sure if you're saying in addition to the bolts, or not, but these are threading into a metal threaded insert. Can you elaborate?

not sure about this, it says the shipping charge on their website, and presumably before purchased it told you how much the shipping would be, right? I've never seen a site price items with shipping built-in.

Since I ordered it in store, that shipping charge was not visible on the sales tag, and I was not communicated that shipping price until they asked for my credit card. The only discussion of shipping costs that the sales person mentioned was that the in-house delivery/assembly was $140. From that perspective it is shocking to see an additional $350 on bill when I paid. paberu posted:It's kind of amazing how shoddy the QC on higher end furniture can be.

Yeah, I'm just an amateur woodworker, but even I would know to build a jig that locates itself on the corner of the couch frame to consistently locate those mounting points.

But of course they should be upfront about how much it is too. unrelated, I had a dream (nightmare?) that my mother bought me an eames lounge chair last night.

The thing that specifically gets me is that, judging by the plate rails at the top, this has to be '80s or '90s. And in the '80s or '90s you wouldn't have been able to fit a TV on a mount like that, nor yet over the fireplace. So either the original owner had a plasma TV, or this monstrosity was built in the current century.
