I purchased a Nixon Sofa with the matching ottoman in Cardova Eclipse. First off the quality in workmanship is the first thing I noticed when this sofa was being placed in my den. I took a risk with the online purchase not having seen this product in person. The swatches were very detailed. Compared to other companies swatches the material at thrive was far more superior. I will honestly say the pictures do not do this sofa any justice. In person its far more eye popping. The nixon is a very firm sofa. So if your looking for something to sink into this is not the sofa for you. If you like firmness then this is what you want. Delivery was great. Im local to Los Angeles so the company delivered it in a very timely manner. They kept in contact with the delivery window. No issues there. The sofa and ottoman were set up in a timely manner as well. Thrive has a new fan. If they stand by this product as they claim, then I will stand by this brand for future purchases. Glad to see this business expanding . Lets me know they will be around for a while. I just received this sofa this afternoon and I am writing this review this same evening. That means alot..... Oh yeah and one more thing .. MADE IN THE U.S.A!!! Thumbs up Thrive!!!

I love my new Nixon Sofa in Lucky Turquoise! The whole process from ordering to delivery was seamless and no issues whatsoever. The sofa has exceeded my expectations (which were quite high) by 1000%!!! Do not hesitate to take a chance and order from Thrive - I am sure you will be pleased. I was hesitant at first because I live so far away, but was assured that I would be taken good care of as far as the delivery process, and that certainly was the case. Great quality, just as described and sample matched my sofa exactly. I am sure I will treasure my sofa for many years to come!

Received my Nixon sofa in Klein citrus a few days ago. It is beautiful. Just love it. It is a show piece. It really brightens up the room and has a touch of elegance. Comfortable too. I just love it. It arrived in abut 3 weeks. More than I could have hoped for.

When I found Thrive Furnishings online, I was thrilled that they produced midcentury modern style furniture locally. After admiring the Nixon sofa online for a couple months and discovering that Thrive has been around for over ten years, I decided that it was the right sofa for our living room space, and that they were the right company to buy from. After trying out the sofa in the factory warehouse by appointment, we purchased the sofa online in Klein Azure a week later during the Presidents Day sale. We were very excited to purchase our first new piece of furniture for our new house, proud to purchase American-made right here in southern California, and from a good company to boot. When the sofa arrived, the delivery guys were very cheerful and professional. They removed it from the box in the truck, then brought it straight into our living room and proceeded to remove it from the giant plastic bag. As the sofa was laid momentarily on its back, we all noticed a large nick missing from the wooden base of the piece. It looked as if a wooden knot had fallen out but the hollowed-out part had still been stained. I asked what it was, and the guys admitted it didn't look very good to them. I was relieved that they were so honest and didn't try to cover it up or brush it under the rug. After a little discussion with the company, the guys returned one week later with a new base that was perfectly constructed. They took out the old one and screwed in the new one. Meanwhile, back at the company office, they were busily discussing how such an indiscretion could have occurred during production and ways they could avoid the same problem in the future. They convinced me that it's not a common occurrence. I still can't believe it happened, as it was such an obviously bad piece of wood that the workers should not have used, but I felt confident once the company took positive steps to ameliorate the situation. They even honored the seven days free return from the date the new base was delivered and installed, but I didn't need it after all. We sit on the sofa when we're not wearing grubby clothing so it stays nice and clean. I had tried pouring water on the swatch they had given me when I visited the factory showroom; the water rolled off just as it did in the video, but when left to sit a while or if pressed into the fabric, the water does go through. It is, after all, made of cotton, and I've also accepted that it will fade over time. Thrive has ensured me that they can reupholster the piece in the future. Meanwhile, we'll just take care of it as a formal piece of furniture. As for the feel of the sofa, it's very firm and stiff, which is why I selected it for our living room. I don't fancy the idea of a sofa in my formal room that sags or needs to be frequently fluffed up. I plan to buy a big, ugly, comfy couch for the family room next. That's the one everyone can jump on and if it gets misshapen, I won't really care. I feel good about supporting their business, I enjoy the look and feel of our sofa, and I would definitely buy from them again.

Absolutely fantanstic!!! I was skeptical about ordering large pieces of furniture online and thanks to Thrive's 365 return policy, I took the plung and ordered the Nixon Sofa and two Nixon Chairs in Delight Lemon, which is really more neutral/brown than bright yellow. They are the most beautiful furniture ever. Super high quality and it's very obvious. The tailoring is impeccable! Maybe you can't see it in the pictures I uploaded to the site, so you'll have to believe me when I say - wow! The furniture arrived very well packed, but a few snips through straps and tape, and the boxes opened up perfectly and we lifted the furniture out. The best part: it took about three weeks from order to delivery. Don't delay - order today! Note: Originally, I ordered the Jefferson sofa and chairs and found them too deep because I'm only 5'0" tall. Thrive staff was GREAT to work with on the return and the Nixon furniture fits me perfectly. My back is on the back of the sofa and my knees bend appropriately (with the Jefferson, my legs stuck out and wouldn't bend because the sofa is so deep. The Jefferson is probably built for someone a little taller.). See my review and review update under the Jefferson sofa.

I purchased the Nixon sofa with Klein fabric. I was a little hesitant to order a sofa I hadn't sat on but I loved the design so I took a chance. The sofa came in exactly 4 weeks as promised. Not only does it look amazing but it is very comfortable! I read the other reviews and someone said the back was hard, well I have to disagree. It's firm but very comfortable! Overall this is a well constructed, sturdy, solid, comfortable piece of furniture. I will definitely recommend thrive and the Nixon sofa!

Just received our Nixon sofa in Key Largo Aubergine, and it's FANTASTIC - the color is beautiful. I love its firmness - I can tell it won't turn into a slumpy mess in a few years. Delivery was also super fast. I ordered the couch on Black Friday & it was delivered on 12/14. A+!

This sofa is beautiful and very well made. The photos on the website are very accurate because there were no surprises when the sofa got delivered. Another reviewer commented that the sofa back is stiff. It is! I had been looking at vintage sofas and this design is VERY accurate for mid century modern design. They told me to expect a 4 week delivery time, but it came much sooner. I would definitely buy furniture from Thrive again. American made, excellent value, terrific construction, great customer service, and BEAUTIFUL designs.

I ordered the Nixon sofa in "Cannes Dark Grey" (velvet) on the advice that velvet was relatively cat proof (which so far seems to be accurate). The sofa arrived about four weeks later and looked fantastic, but unfortunately was damaged in shipping. Fortunately Thrive was great about sending a replacement, which also arrived in about four weeks. The quality is excellent, far superior to Room and Board (I like some of their designs but was disappointed to see in the showroom that the upholstery looks cheap and the stitching is uneven). The design is also extremely comfortable , which I wondered about based on the pictures. The cushions are supportive without being squishy (hate that), and the depth works well both for me and my husband. FYI, the dimensions given on the website are incorrect: the sofa stands 32" high and is 34" deep.

We love that 1950s look and decided to buy this for our living room with a couple of chairs, and we think it looks terrific. Very comfortable too! My dog insists on getting up on it even though he's not allowed on furniture!
