A brutally honest, unbiased review of the York Pottery Barn Sofa and what you should know before you purchase one.We’ve been living with our two Pottery Barn sofas for nearly 2 MONTHS, so I’m finally showing and sharing all of the nitty gritty details about them! I avoided showing these sofas since they arrived because I knew I’d immediately get questions in my inbox about them, but I wanted to give it time to have a fully formulated opinion about our experience before ever recommending them to anyone. Our Slipcovered Slope Arm York Pottery Barn Sofa purchase happened after years of debating, waiting, and saving up for what we dubbed our “dream sofa”. If it’s a piece of furniture on your wish list too, I thought it would help to share everything you should know before deciding if it’s the right sofa for your household. We got two sofas because we found having only one sofa in our living room left no extra seating room for when we had family and friends over. First, I need a minute to just marvel over how far this living room has come since we moved in. 4+ years ago… And now… Holy cannoli, Batman!!!! Okay, I got that out of my system… diving in. Pottery Barn Sofa Review: What You Should KnowPottery Barn York Slope Arm Sofa SpecificationsYork Sofa StyleWe chose the Pottery Barn York Slope Arm Sofa mostly because of its deep seat and sleek design with the option for a bench cushion. It’s simple with clean lines. The York sofa style lends itself to transitional decorating, so if you feel your style is not-quite-traditional but not-quite-modern, this sofa has a great shape for suiting both. The slope arm detail gives it a slightly feminine characteristic. Slipcovered Sofa vs. Upholstered SofaWe had the option of choosing between the upholstered York Slope Arm sofa and the slipcovered. I prefer the slipcover because it gives us the flexibility to change it for a new color or fabric material, if we want something new without buying an entirely new sofa. The slipcover also lends itself to a more relaxed cottage style. Sofa Fabric ChoiceEven though we had 105 sofa fabric options to choose from, I knew immediately that I wanted a performance fabric to stand up against spills and dirt from our kids and our dog. So we chose the Sunbrella Performance Chenille fabric in the color Salt. York Sofa DimensionsOne of the biggest factors that sold us on this sofa was how deep the seat is. We chose the 81″ width, which has a seating depth of 22″. The sofa is 36″ high, which makes it the perfect sofa for taller people. If you prefer to “curl up” on a sofa, you can’t beat the York. Other Similar Sofas We Considered for Their Sleek StylesOur Living Environment Affecting DurabilityWe have two kids ages 3 and 9 and a small Yorkie mix dog, so our crew puts this sofas to the test BIG TIME. Our kids have already climbed up on the sofas with dirty feet and hands, and our dog loves sitting on the back cushions squishing them out of shape when I’m not around to tell her no. Pottery Barn Sofa Pros
Pottery Barn Sofa Cons
See that one little spot on the cushion? The Sunbrella fabric isn’t completely invincible, but it does clean up easily with just water and a rag. Pottery Barn York Sofa vs IKEA Farlov SofaWe owned the IKEA Farlov sofa with a white slipcover for about 2 years when we first moved into our house, and the style and shape is very similar to the Pottery Barn York Sofa, so now that we have lived with both for a while, here’s how they compare.
Sofa TakeawaysAll in all, we have absolutely zero regrets with our York sofas so far. They are certainly an investment, one which we didn’t consider lightly. But I would rather buy a more expensive sofa once and have it last a couple of decades versus buying a cheaper sofa three times in the same time frame. Quality wins out every time when it comes to sofas, especially in a family that uses and abuses them.

Okay, one more before and after for the road… So good!!! Do you have a living room sofa you absolutely love and recommend? Or do you a Pottery Barn sofa you don’t mind sharing your experience about? I’d love to know! If you do eventually decide to go with a Pottery Barn sofa, it’s best to hold out for a 20-30% off sale since they have several sales annually. And if you have any questions about it, ask away. I’ll be sure to report back as we wear in these sofas more with time, but so far, we’re in love!
