Notice how I omitted the name Mr.Curvy? There’s a reason….more on that later. Let me first get into the delivery details. The delivery went smooth, the sectional fit perfectly between our painter’s tape marks, and the recliners work great. It was everything they promised us a reclining leather sectional would be.
Feel free to ignore my monkey eating his breakfast in the back and all the morning sun through our east facing windows.
The color appears to be a lot darker than what was in the store, which is totally ok by me but B was not too happy. Still….not too bad, matched perfectly with our curtains. We had seen the reviews/pics online that mentioned that the couch was a real dark chocolate brown.
As I expected, it cut the room’s height in half because it was high. But we knew what we were getting into when we wanted a sectional that was 40″ in height. One thing’s for sure, it would have looked a lot cleaner/modern had it been shorter. Hey, the height was B’s most important criterion.
Now that the couch is here, no two questions about it; its huge. Thank God we have a big room with 10 ft ceilings! Anything smaller, we would have been in trouble. Its a mammoth. That is what it is ‘The mammoth’ not Mr.Curvy; and a very masculine one at that. So the next step; to soften up the Mammoth (yup, this is an official re-christening post). No concrete plans yet on that, maybe some pillows and a throw. Stay with us as we try to mellow down our mammoth of a leather sectional and finish up the rest of the room in the coming months.

Vidya, I love “The Mammoth”! Wonderful that you do have such a large livingroom!! I am envious lol. (Small one here) I think your son’s room is just toooo cute!! Love that you call him your “Monkey”. I have five… lol, they are my grandchildren! 😀
Love your blog, will be back often to check on the updates. Good luck dear with the hunt… Looking forward to seein you again.
Thank so much Debi. Glad you like it. After reading my blog post about his room last night my son looked upset and said, “Amma, why did you call me ‘monkey’? You should have called me ‘awesome monkey’! That way you could have included both my names, Mr. Awesomeness and Monkey!” 🙂
Vidya,
This looks nice and perfect for the living room.Love the color.;-)
Thanks Prajusha. If you ask me, the color and the comfort are the only things going for it.
I know what you feel Vidya about these bulky sofas, everyday I try to convince my husband to get rid of them (similar to your’s) because they are too big for our room but he insists to have them 🙁
Yup, you win some you lose some. 🙂
Vidya,
Just curious how your “mammoth” is holding up. We are looking at the same sectional.
Thanks!
It is holding up great. Has stood up fabulously to kid abuse. I would totally recommend it for its functionality and quality. No complaints except for the style. 😉
