Our Honest Review of the Henredon Caley Reversible Sofa Chaise from Costco
A two month search for the perfect no leg sofa led us to an unexpected Costco find. From cheap looking Amazon listings to overpriced showroom pieces, here is why the Henredon Caley sectional finally won us over, and the one small thing we are still getting used to.
Finding the right sofa is harder than it sounds. We spent two months searching before we finally landed on the Henredon Caley Reversible Sofa Chaise with Ottoman from Costco, and now that it has been in our living room for a while, we wanted to share a full, honest review. Here is everything that went into our decision, and how the sofa has held up since delivery.
1. The Search: Two Months of Sofa Shopping
We started looking for a new sofa about two months before we finally made a purchase. Right from the start, we had one non negotiable requirement: no visible leg stands. We wanted something with a low, grounded profile rather than a sofa that looked like it was floating on thin metal or wooden legs. That one preference ended up eliminating a surprising number of options.
2. Why We Skipped Amazon
Amazon was our first stop, since it is usually the easiest place to compare options and prices. But the sofas we found there did not inspire much confidence. The reviews were mixed at best, and in photos, many of the sofas looked cheaper than we wanted for a piece of furniture we planned to keep for years. We decided to keep looking rather than settle.
3. Furniture Stores Were Out of Budget
Next, we checked out just about every furniture store in our area. The quality was noticeably better than what we had seen online, but so were the price tags. Most of the sofas we liked were priced well outside our budget, and we were not willing to stretch that far for a single piece of furniture, no matter how nice it looked in the showroom.
4. Discovering the Henredon Caley at Costco
Then, almost by accident, we came across the Henredon Caley Reversible Sofa Chaise with Ottoman on Costco's website. Henredon is a name usually associated with higher end furniture, so seeing it at Costco caught our attention immediately. The sofa is an L shaped, four piece sectional made up of a right arm facing loveseat, a left arm facing armchair, a reversible chaise, and an ottoman. It seats up to five people and comes with a solid wood frame, wedge arms, and deep, loose cushions that are also reversible.
We were impressed right away. It looked soft, comfortable, and far more upscale than the price suggested. Still, we did not buy it on the spot.
5. Taking Time to Decide
Since a sofa is a big investment, and one that would be sitting in our living room for years, we did not rush the decision. We thought it over for a few days, checked measurements against our space, and read through the specs one more time before finally committing to the purchase.
6. Ordering It Online
One detail that surprised us was that Costco does not deliver this sofa directly from the warehouse floor. It has to be ordered online, even if you first see it in a physical store. So we placed our order through the Costco website.
7. Delivery Was Smooth and On Time
The ordering process let us pick our own delivery date, which was a nice touch since we could plan around our schedule instead of waiting around for a random window. The sofa arrived exactly when it was scheduled to. The delivery team was professional, efficient, and handled the setup themselves. They assembled the sectional in our living room, and the entire process was quick and hassle free.
8. Comfort: The Biggest Win
Once it was set up, it did not take long to realize this was, without exaggeration, the best sofa we have ever owned. The seats are deep and soft without feeling like you sink in too far, and the cushions strike a nice balance between plush and supportive. The fabric feels nice against the skin and holds up well to everyday use. Since it arrived, we have practically been living on this couch.
9. Spacious and Firm Where It Counts
Despite how soft and cushioned it feels, the frame underneath is firm and sturdy. There is no wobble or sagging, and the overall footprint gives everyone in the family enough room to stretch out. For a sectional this size, it strikes a good balance between coziness and structure.
10. The One Drawback: The Ottoman
If there is one thing we would change, it is the ottoman. We assumed it would function like a small table, since we often eat while watching TV, but it is actually cushioned like the rest of the sofa rather than flat and sturdy like a coffee table. It still works fine as extra seating or a footrest, but it was not quite what we expected for our particular habits. We are adjusting to it, and it has not been a dealbreaker, just a minor mismatch with how we use our living room.
Final Verdict
After two months of searching, comparing, and second guessing, the Henredon Caley Reversible Sofa Chaise from Costco turned out to be exactly what we needed. It avoided the cheap look we found on Amazon and the steep prices we ran into at furniture stores, while still delivering genuine comfort and solid build quality. The delivery experience was smooth, the setup was handled professionally, and the sofa itself has become the center of our living room.
If you are on the hunt for a sofa without visible legs, want something that feels genuinely comfortable rather than just photogenic, and do not want to overspend, this one is worth a serious look.
