This couch was exactly what I was hoping for. The colour was exactly as shown in the images (I got harbour grey), and the material is as soft and smooth as described. It’s also as stain resistant and scratch proof as it claims to be! I had my nephews over a few days ago and they got blood all over the couch from a nose bleed and it cleaned right out no problem! My three cats have also been trying to scratch it and zero snares, tears or marks have been left. They now just enjoy sitting on it all day in the sun. On top of all this the couch is simply gorgeous and really makes my living room look stunning. Absolutely fantastic purchase and would highly recommend!

After tons of couch shopping we finally came across the aren sofa which fit our style and the back wall in our living room perfectly. The shipping was super fast and the sofa was easy to assemble. Can confirm the material is scratch resistant! Very happy with the purchase.

My cats have destroyed all my furniture including our expensive leather sofa but not our antique chairs that were recovered a month ago with the debossed microfiber in Cappacino. You can see where our Ragdoll tried to scratch it. All i have to do is run a damp hand over it to pick up the fur and smooth out the claw marks. We plan on having a sofa made from this magical fabric when we move next year.

Super confo et vient tout assemblé donc c'est facile :)
Mon chien l'adore et moi aussi!
La couleur est parfaite.

Okay, so it's been almost a month since we got this couch from Auberge Design, and let me just say—we are OBSESSED! 😍 Like, seriously, I was sooo worried about my three cats turning it into their personal scratching post, but this sofa has been an actual lifesaver.

At first, the cats tried to scratch the arms (because, of course, they did 🙄), but they honestly got bored after a while. It’s like the fabric is just not exciting enough for them to keep scratching, which is amazing. They still love to play and roll around on it, so yes, we do get the occasional scratch mark, but here’s the cool part—it pretty much disappears once we vacuum. It’s like magic! ✨

And can we talk about how cute this couch is?! It’s the perfect combo of stylish and functional. It fits right in with our decor and has seriously elevated the vibe of our living room. We get so many compliments on it, and I love that it’s pet-friendly without looking like some ugly, clunky "pet-proof" furniture. It's honestly everything I wanted and more.

If you’re a cat mom like me and have been scared about finding a couch that can handle a little fur and claws, this is the one. 💯 Would totally recommend it!

I love how soft the fabric is, and how easy it is to keep clean despite its colour. All 3 of our cats love sitting on it, as do we.

I have this couch but the sofa bed edition. Unfortunately it no longer exists with the L but i have to say the sofa bed is the best sofa bed I have ever slept on. I really was not expecting that at all but I ended up willingly sleeping on it myself. I personally needed something my kitties would not shred. It's not 100% cat proof but it definitely is resistant. You can easily brush most marks out. Customer service was probably the best I ever dealt with. My order was delayed but they kept me posted and when I had an issue with my cushion seam they sent a replacement. It was a little scary investing so much money into a product I couldn't physically see before purchasing but it was well worth it. I definitely will be interested in getting another one in the future. Hopefully the same model comes back out, who doesn't love large sofa bed. I got mine crypton microfiber in henry new aqua.

I recently added the Hugo Pesto green sectional to my living space, and it has truly transformed the room. This sectional offers an exceptional combination of durability, comfort, and style that exceeds my expectations.

DURABILITY: One standout feature of the Hugo Pesto sectional is its exceptional durability. Crafted from high-quality materials, including a certified sustainable kiln-dried wood frame, microgel soy-based polyfoam, and premium upholstery that is scratch-resistant, it ensures longevity which is perfect for any pet parents! The low pile microfiber also provides a temporary hydrophobic barrier, allowing spills to be easily soaked up before settling.

COMFORT: I was pleasantly surprised by the level of comfort the Hugo Pesto sectional provides. After just a couple of days, I can confidently say that it's perfect for lounging and entertaining with my dogs. With generous seating space and supportive padding, it offers hours of relaxation without compromising on comfort. The soft, removable back pillows allow for customizable seat depth, whether you prefer a shorter or deeper setting.

STYLE: The variety of color and fabric selections offered by Auberge Designs is impressive. They even provide free fabric swatches to help you choose the right fit for your space. I opted for the Low Pile Microfiber Prestige Pesto, which adds warmth and color to my living room without overwhelming it. The sleek lines and modern silhouette exude sophistication, making it a seamless addition to any decor style, whether contemporary or eclectic.

MINOR CONS: Upon receiving the item, I noticed some scuff marks on the top back frame of the sectional. However, after contacting customer service, they promptly addressed the issue. It's worth noting that this is a custom order, so expect a wait of about three months. While customer service is responsive, you may need to proactively request updates.

Additionally, delivery is handled through a third party, which can be a bit frustrating. Auberge Designs does not provide the actual delivery date, and there can be discrepancies in the information they provide. My advice is to contact the delivery service directly for accurate updates as Auberge does not do it for you.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. The Hugo Pesto green sectional is truly a standout piece of furniture that combines comfort, durability, and style seamlessly. It's perfect for any pet parents!

Very nice couch. I find the firmness very comfortable for a coffee type situation. So far no cat damage despite playing on it with some claw action! Abby (the Lab) approved as well!

Finally a couch my cat can’t scratch!
He’s tried but with no success !!
Beautiful and comfortable ! 😻
Love it!

My partner and I were uncertain about purchasing a sofa without the ability to try it out first. However, our experience with Auberge Design's Aren sofa has completely dispelled any reservations we had!

From the moment it arrived, we were impressed with the attention to detail in packaging and delivery. The assembly process was a pleasant surprise as well. After unpacking, putting together the sofa was a straightforward task, adding to the overall positive experience.

The sofa exceeded our expectations in both appearance and comfort. Its sleek design effortlessly complements our living space, and the comfort level is beyond compare.

As cat owners, one of our initial concerns and the main reason we chose Auberge Design was durability. We’re thrilled to report that the sofa has held up remarkably well. Not a scratch in sight, thanks to its high-quality materials. Cleaning has also been a breeze. Any spills or messes wipe away effortlessly, leaving the sofa looking as good as new every time. I constantly receive compliments from guests and enthusiastically recommend the brand to all my fellow pet-owning acquaintances!

So impressed are we with our purchase that we're already considering buying a second one for our basement! The exceptional quality and service from Auberge Design have made us loyal customers, and we'll gladly recommend them to anyone in search of stylish, durable furniture.

Got this couch about a month ago. So far, I absolutely live it! I have 2 cardigan welsh corgis, and i can tell you they shed like buffaloes! My fluffy one brings in all kind of dust and drit and this couch has been standing up to this amazingly. Super easy to clean, the fur barely stays on it and I love that the seat coushons have some kind of velcro. They stay put no matter what my dogs are doing (including playing bitey face). I legitimately find the couch very comfortable. People said it was super firm and not very comfortable, but I find it awesome. And clearly the dogs love it too 😀. No regrets getting this couch. I love that I finally found a couch that stands up to my dogs, that's super comfortable and to top it off it looks amazing!

i have a few comments to share about this couch.

First off they look amazing, super contemporary, very stylish and not too bulky! my problem with my old couches were they were expensive, the cats tore them up and they were bulky. These couches are a great size for my living room and they're fairly cat proof!

The couches have held up beautifully, had the couches about a month now and they're doing great. My previous couch you'd see it fraying quickly, this is holding up great. The cats love it.

Price wise, its the best deal i could get on a 3 piece couch set.

If i could make a change, i would've opted for a darker colour, i got the light cappuchino colour and i think its more prone to showing scratches or damage if it ever happens, a dark colour would hide these better.

We love this couch. Simple and classic design. Cat proof. Looks great!

We were thinking of changing our living room furniture but when we got our second cat (a very playful kitten), we were looking for something that would withstand the claws...
Then I ran into an Auberge Designs ad, I ordered a swatch, read a ton of reviews and was completely sold.
This is the best purchase!!! Not only the fabric is luxurious but the firmness of the cushions is heavenly. I can tell this sofa is going to last a very long time!!
The cats are also enjoying it :)
Cleaning it is a breeze. Vacuums so easily and haven't had a chance to get it dirty but I'm sure a clean damp cloth will do if it gets a stain.
Cats can play on it without damaging the fabric and that is huge. Living room furniture is usually a big expense. This was worth it and much more because Auberge Designs has amazing sales!
Can't wait to get my loveseat!!

Our last sofa only survived 3.5 years, after getting to the point where threads were ripped out everywhere from our cats using it as a scratching post and metal was exposed on the corners from our cats biting them. It was kind of embarrassing when guests came over. I had seen Auberge Designs' advertisements on my social media, but had been hesitant whether it would stand up to our two Bengal cats. Finally took the plunge, purchasing the Aren Sofa in Slate Grey, and we are so happy we did! The arms are low and curved enough that they are comfy to lean on, the sofa length is perfect for laying down, and the firmness is great - definitely on the firmer side right now but I think it will likely soften a bit with time. The fabric is so soft and really nice to touch. Best of all, I can confirm that it has resisted our cats' destructive antics. Following assembly, one cat immediately jumped on the sofa and tried to sharpen their claws on the back of the sofa. To her surprise, she couldn't dig her claws into the fabric, and now the cats don't try to scratch it at all anymore! When they try to chase their tail, they use to fall off the sofa but catch themselves with their claws and now they actually fall off as the fabric is too slippery for them. When they chased each other, there were some claw lines that I was initially concerned about, but they disappeared due to the slight variation from the way the microfiber is "brushed" from one direction to the other from regular sofa use. Pet fur also doesn't stick to the fabric - our cats spend a lot of time of the sofa and it's never covered in fur! Amusingly, they actually spend the most time reaching their front legs down into the small space near the seam where the two sofa pieces connect, and are entertained for hours doing this! While the sofa lives up to our expectations of "cat-proofness", I hadn't actually paid attention to the stain-resistant features until within the first week of owning the sofa, my husband spilled a full glass of red wine on it. Needless to say, it was a stressful moment for both of us. We looked on this site for how to clean it and proceeded to soak up the excess wine and then wipe the sofa with just water. To say we were amazed that all the wine came off and there's no evidence of the accident is an understatement! Can now confirm that the sofa is also "accident-proof" and it is reassuring to know that this sofa will stand up to our family's use for many years and while still looking brand new! Looking forward to getting some of the accent chairs in the future to replace the ones our cats have also destroyed! @AubergeDesigns - Please make a chaise lounge too!

We love our new couch! Moving into our new home was the perfect excuse to finally invest in a comfy new sofa. The one we had before was all scratched up by our cat and it was time for a fresh start. I wasn't sure if this sofa was really claw-proof and was a bit worried that it wouldn't work. On the first day, the cat tried to scratch it. Let me tell you, he was very disappointed! He couldn't do his claws!! Here we are on day 21, the sofa is still perfect and the cat doesn't even try anymore. What an amazing product! 🩷

Our basement (townhouse) wouldn’t fit a true sectional so we purchased the ottoman in this stunning ocean blue to go with the Salo Sofa and it’s functional and perfect for the space.
Three tween boys sit on it comfortably and the 80-lb pup usually takes up the whole ottoman when we kick him off the couch.
Great purchase. It’s soft just like the 2 couches we also purchased.
Would highly recommend to anyone with pets that take up your seating space! ;)

This gorgeous blue salo sofa was stunning on the website and looks exactly as described in my basement. It is super durable for my 80-lb doodle who jumps and sleeps on it like it’s no one’s business. Goodbye to his dog bed.
No scratches! The pillows are stylish, soft and a bonus - washable!
We also purchased the Lohja in the cappuccino colour.
We love it and the whole family enjoys it.

It’s comfy and a favourite place to lounge for our big 80-lb pup.
Pillows are seat cushions are soft yet durable. Pillows are washable. It was well-packaged on delivery. We love it so much we purchased a second Sofa from Auberge Designs for our basement (Salo Sola) and ottoman. Amazing quality and value.

So beautiful , i love it. Cat loves it too... He has scratched it already... but we cant see the damage. Should of bought this couch years ago.

Never thought I would ever buy a couch without trying it first! Being able to order the swathes really helped to test out the texture and be sure of the colour. I’m so happy I went with my gut and decided to purchase this couch, the colour is beautiful, the white glove delivery was totally worth the extra money and my cats absolutely love this couch. As other reviewers have noted, it was very firm when I first tried it out and I’ve been sitting on an old couch for 10 years so wasn’t used to that but now we’re on day 3 and I am absolutely in love with my couch, so comfy!! The cats have been all over it trying to scratch it but just as advertised the scratches disappear, and the cat hair is so easy to remove too. Highly recommend!!

I very sceptical that our new couches would withstand our two cats scratching. However just after one hour of having them I caught my cat scratching and was so happy to see there was zero damage. The couches are beautiful, and comfortable. The material is soft to touch. Ordering it was a breeze and so was booking our delivery. The delivery guys were on time, and professional. As you can see from my video….I was so surprised and happy. 😃

only 2 weeks with sofa set but it is nice and as described. shipping was delayed for one extra week and we were not notified until 6 pm of the day it was promised. waited all day for nothing.
the white glove crew did well with setup.

We did plenty of research before purchasing this amazing couch.
It stands up to spill and stains. Easy to clean. Super comfortable and perfect for a busy household with multiple pets and children.
Highly recommended Pet friendly couch
