Spent way too much time this weekend reading about couches for a new place.
My impression is that everything in the $1-3k range is manufactured in the same 1 square mile block (prob Shenzen?) and so it doesn't really matter from a quality POV.

I.e. Crate and Barrel, CB2, Burrow, Article, West Elm all seem more or less interchangeable to me so just pick the cheapest one that you think is comfortable/looks good.
Only real tradeoff I could see was:
DTC brands trying to differentiate with better shipping times and return policies.
vs.
Legacy brands have show rooms so you can try before you buy.
Otherwise seem pretty much identical so it's almost a pure branding play.

If any sourcing experts have experience with this, would be curious if this is true or there is more to it.
