How to Choose a Sofa Store in Chicago
A few Chicago-specific things to think about before you shop.
Shop the North & Clybourn corridor
Nine stores on this list sit around North Ave and Clybourn Ave in Lincoln Park, including Crate & Barrel, West Elm, Pottery Barn, Design Within Reach, Joybird and Arhaus, so you can compare a lot in one afternoon.
Measure for walk-ups and vintage buildings
Two-flats, greystones and older condos often have narrow stairs and tight turns. Modular sofas (Lovesac) or custom sizes (Walter E. Smithe, Room & Board) make delivery much easier.
Pick fabrics for real Chicago winters
Road salt, slush and dry indoor heat are tough on upholstery. Ask about performance fabrics or quality leather that wipes clean.
Check your building’s delivery rules
Many high-rises require an elevator reservation and a certificate of insurance (COI) from the delivery company. Ask the store before you book.
Before You Visit a Sofa Showroom
- Measure your wall, walkway and every doorway, hallway and elevator on the delivery path. See our measuring guide.
- Take a photo of your room and bring fabric or paint swatches.
- Sit on each sofa for at least 5 minutes, in the position you actually relax in.
- Ask about frame material, cushion fill and warranty length, not just the price.
- Get the delivery fee, delivery date and return policy in writing before you pay.
- Check our online sofa deals to compare prices before you buy in store.
