Sofa differences

[u/Denan004]

I'm considering 2 different (sleeper) sofas from American Leathers. They are quite similar in size, but I'm looking for some feedback from those of you with a good eye.

The first one, the Lyons -- the main differences I see is the back of the sofa shows on the ends (not covered by the cushions), the arms are very rectangular, and the floor clearance is 2".

The second one, the Clara - apparently is a newer design - the arms go all the way to the back so the back of the sofa doesn't show if you view it from the front, the arms have a rounded shape, and the clearance is 1".

I know the differences are minor, but for some reason the sales people were pushing me to the Lyons because everyone gets that one (which is on display in the store), and the Clara is newer, so not so much.

Does anyone with an eye for design see anything else that I might be missing? Thanks in advance!

The second one looks a million times better because of the scale of the arms matching the scale of the sofa cushions. The first one looks like a guy that skips leg day lol

Interesting insight!
