Bassett Furniture is a long-established American furniture maker selling sofas, sectionals, chairs, dining tables, beds and case goods through its own showrooms and website. Much of the upholstery is made to order, and a good share is built in Bassett's own US workshops.
That custom model is what decides whether a Bassett Furniture order goes well. You choose the frame, size, fabric and cushion, then wait while it is built. Getting the choices right up front matters more than the price tag.
Custom upholstery: what you are choosing
A Bassett Furniture sofa typically starts with a frame style, then a size or configuration, then fabric or leather, cushion fill, arm style, leg finish and sometimes nailhead or welt details. Each choice can change the price.
Build the piece online first and save it. The Bassett Furniture site shows how the price moves with each option, which helps you see where the money goes before visiting a showroom.
Custom pieces are generally not returnable in the way a stock item is. Check the current Bassett Furniture terms on custom orders before confirming, and treat the order as final.
Fabric grades and swatches
Bassett Furniture groups fabrics into price grades. A higher grade reflects the cost of the fabric, not necessarily its durability, so a mid-grade performance fabric can outlast a pricier delicate weave.
Order swatches before committing. Colours on screen differ from real fabric, and a swatch lets you check texture and colour in your own light. Bassett Furniture showrooms also carry swatch books.
For homes with children or pets, look at performance and stain-resistant fabrics in the Bassett Furniture range. Leather wears well but scratches; ask about the leather type and finish.
Cushion fill and comfort
Cushion choice changes how a Bassett Furniture sofa feels and ages. Firmer foam holds its shape and needs little attention. Softer, down-blend cushions feel relaxed but need regular plumping and look lived-in quickly.
Sit on the options in a Bassett Furniture showroom if you can. Seat depth and height matter as much as fill: taller people often prefer a deeper seat, shorter people a shallower one.
Measuring your room and your doorways
Measure the room, then measure every doorway, stairwell and corridor the piece must pass through. A sectional that fits the living room but not the hallway is an expensive problem.
Check whether a Bassett Furniture sofa has removable legs or ships in sections. Mark the footprint on the floor with tape to see how it sits in the room before ordering.
For dining tables, allow space to pull chairs out and walk behind them. For beds, check the headboard height against windows and sockets.
Lead times and delivery
Custom Bassett Furniture upholstery takes weeks to build, and the estimate varies by style and fabric availability. Stock items and quick-ship pieces arrive sooner. Check the estimate on the product page and in your order confirmation.
Bassett Furniture has typically offered in-home delivery for large items, with the fee depending on location and order size. Ask what the delivery covers, such as placing the piece in the room and removing packaging.
Inspect the piece when it arrives, before the delivery team leaves. Note any damage on the paperwork and photograph it.
When Bassett Furniture prices are lowest
Bassett Furniture runs promotions around the big furniture sale periods: Presidents Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day and Black Friday. Custom upholstery is often part of these events, so it is worth waiting if a holiday weekend is close.
Showroom floor models and discontinued fabrics are sometimes cleared at lower prices. Ask the local Bassett Furniture showroom whether any clearance pieces are available.
Where the Bassett Furniture savings are
On a Bassett Furniture sofa or sectional, the 30% code is the clear winner if it applies. On a custom piece, a percentage off is worth far more than any fixed amount.
The $100 code only beats 30% on orders under about $333, which on Bassett Furniture means an accent piece, a lamp or a small table. It may carry a minimum spend.
The decor code is for accessories: rugs, lighting, pillows and wall decor. Use it on a decor-only basket.
Bassett Furniture codes generally do not stack with each other or with an active sale, and some exclude clearance and certain brands. Enter the code before paying the deposit, and check that delivery charges are not affected.
