avec pewter sofa
oui, we'll take it. So say you went to the Paris flea market and found this gem of a 50s sofa, but by the time you negotiated the euros and crated it back it'd still need refurbishing and oh, well, never mind, keep walking, but can't stop thinking about how cool it would be in your place. Find your vintage find anew at CB2: super long slim lines, cutback retro arms, low tufted back spanning double seat cushions...all avec a poly velvet in the perfect modern tonal pewter on gunmetal stiletto legs. How easy was that? -Polyester fabric: pewter -Sinuous wire support -Metal legs with a gunmetal powdercoat finish -Benchmade -Made in USA eco-friendly construction: -Certified sustainable, kiln-dried hardwood frame -Seat and back cushions are soy-based polyfoam and fiber

Fabulous!!!
Date:11/07/2012
I just got this couch last week. I love and adore it...I am sitting on it right now. It is elegant, it is comfortable...just enough firmness, yet soft. If it stays this way, one of the best purchases I've ever made! I can't say enough about it! Also, delivery was on time and impeccable.

Avec Pewter = Avec Style & Back Support
Date:10/13/2012
I chose this sofa because of its sleek style, the grey colour (light colours show dirt!), the velvety texture (warm and snuggly!) and the firm back support. I do not like sofa's that when you sit in them, you sink to the bottom and you feel like you're going to topple over. This is an awesome sofa if you like firm back support like me. I have only had this for a short time so I cannot comment on its durability but I am only 130 lb and 5'5" so I expect the couch to last for a few years. Of course it may be different if I were a very tall/big person... then I would expect the seats to start sagging no matter what I do. It is my favourite couch that I have owned so far!

Falling apart after 2 years of light use
Date:09/16/2012
The style is beautiful but the threads in the backrest part of the couch are already unraveling, after just two years. There are no children in my home and my couch isn't used all that often. So I'm surprised that it seems to be unraveling so soon.

Great, Durable
Date:09/02/2012
I've had this sofa for over a year and it's held up very well. The fabric is very easy to keep clean; any spill that's happened wipes right up without leaving a mess. The cushions are the only thing I wish would be better because they're already sagging a bit, but that's to be expected for any foam.
As a plus, CB2 uses eco foam in their products, meaning that new furniture doesn't smell like terrible plastic when it first arrives.

have to re-upholster after less than 2 years!!
Date:06/06/2012
less than 2 years after i purchased this sofa the fabric has ripped around the stitching on the back rest tufting. you can see the white fill poking thru thus leaving me with a very cheap looking couch. this is my primary couch, but after under 2 years i shouldn't have to already replace the upholstery. i am very disappointed in the fabric choice.

Love this couch (times 2)
Date:04/22/2012
We were considering a sectional for space and ended up with two of the pewter avecs instead. WOW - one of the best purchases we've made. Stays clean, looks fantastic and yet is super comfortable and roomy. We are very happy.

happy with purchase
Date:03/10/2012
I bought this sofa about a year and a half ago. So far has held up well. It's not the type of sofa you can sink into. I'm pretty short (5'3'') so I like the shallow depth. But it's comfortable enough. The fabric warms up my industrial looking loft, and preponderance of industrial and modern furniture and accessories.

gorgeous sofa
Date:02/28/2012
Bought this sofa off the website with fingers crossed. It's turned out to be the best sofa I've ever purchased. It's spacious enough to accommodate four people, and the poly velvet is easily cleaned. A comfortable yet very stylish couch that I get a lot of compliments on. I've had it for over a year now and still love it.

Love It!
Date:10/23/2011
I've only had this couch for a week--but so far I absolutely love it. The couch is beautiful, very modern and stylish. It's very long--and can comfortably fit 4 people, maybe even 5. At this point, I can't speak to the durability--but up to this point it has met my expectations in every way. Not to mention that the delivery guys were fantastic. Best of all--my cats don't seem at all interested in scratching the fabric.

Worst couch ever.
Date:10/11/2011
The couch has sleek euro styling but when I bought mine (it was offered in red) and the think just fades away in the shade. Very poor quality workmanship on the fabric. Dull and not a pop. It is not a very comfortable counch either unless you like sittimng like you are in Catholic School.

Contemporary, cool, comfy
Date:08/28/2011
I love it. I was looking for something sort of "Mid-Century Modern" sort of Mad Men and this fits the bill. It's very comfy, very soft. Cleans easily with distilled water. Dog hair easily brushes off. The two seat cushions detach, which is great for flipping and cleaning. It's pretty light. Nice size; would fit three people; two comfortably. I disagree with the reviewer who called it "olive grey"; I say it's a true pewter grey. You could call it a charcoal grey. It's a little shallow--but not bad. Just not a lounging/ sink-into-the-cushions couch.

Modern and Comfortable
Date:08/27/2011
My husband and I bought this couch a couple months ago, and really love it. I love the style and look of it, very modern but also has a vintage flair to it. It is also very soft, with the velvety fabric, but firm enough to be comfotable. We haven't had any stains, and even had one accident with some wine that was able to be wiped off very easily!

Great find
Date:08/27/2011
This is a beautiful, comfortable sofa and fantastic quality for the money. It took me forever to take a chance on ordering something like this online, but am so happy I did. After a few months of use, it has proved to be durable and easy to clean even with three dogs in the house. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Perfection in Grey Suede
Date:08/27/2011
I took a long time to figure out that this was the sofa I wanted. Having shopped around and shopped around and shopped around, I found the Avec sofa, but took time to figure out that it was *my* sofa. Once I committed to it, I have never looked back and am completely happy with both it's functionality, and its design. The suede is easy to clean, and the clean lines of the sofa itself make it a beautiful piece of furniture without being overstated. It isn't yelling at you, but it is a strong couch. It's super comfy, comfy for lying and sleeping on, as well as large enough to sit 4 people across. It's strength (having survived a cross country move while standing on it's arm) is amazing, and once I put it in my new apartment, it made me feel like home.

child magnet
Date:08/27/2011
This sofa is beautiful, as you can probably tell from the photos. What you can't tell, is that it has a soft, velvety texture. I was worried that it would be extremely sensitive to stains and smears and when my 2 young children began viewing it as their giant new stuffed animal, I was convinced it would be ruined. So far so good! I've been able to wipe away signs of their affection, and am pleased to discover that parenting and style can go together.

Still love it after almost 2 years.
Date:08/22/2011
I bought this couch in November of 2009 and I am still as in love with it as the day bought it. The cushions do start to look a lit saggy in between vaccuumings, but I feel like it fluffs right up afer we vaccum. We also flip the cushions periodically. The couch is long and quite comfotable for 2 people or 4. It will easily fit 5, but not quite as comfortably. I love the deep charcoal color and it cleans up really nicely with a damp cloth as long as you go with the fabric.

Great modern sofa for loft
Date:08/20/2011
I'd been looking for a modern sofa that was long enough to take naps on and not be too soft. This was the best one I found after searching for 6 months. It's a perfect fit in terms of size and style for my loft-style apt. I wish I knew the new tweed color/fabric was coming out because I might have considered that fabric instead, which is why I knocked one star off my review. The velvet of this sofa needs to be smoothed out often, but I usually don't bother. The delivery was smooth and easy and they attached the legs in 5 minutes.
