Updated February 2026: After nearly 8 years of daily use, I’m sharing how these Article pieces have held up. Scroll down for the full durability update and our complete Article Furniture review!
Shopping for furniture can trigger a few emotions. At first, once you decide it’s time for some new pieces it can be really exciting. I mean who doesn’t love the idea of transforming their space into something bright and shiny and new? Then you start feverishly pinning pins on your Pinterest board to get a feel for what you like. Okay, everything is going great! But then you start shopping around furniture store after furniture store only to realize that nothing in these stores looks anything like what you’ve seen on Pinterest. The lies! Oh and let’s not forget expensive for some not so great stuff. It’s somewhere around this point that the confusion and worry begin to creep in. You ask yourself questions like, “Am I making the right decision?”, “Will this even work in my house?” or “What if I spend all this money and it gets delivered and I don’t even like it?”. Then you find yourself back on Pinterest and the cycle starts all over like some sort of hellish groundhog day of furniture shopping. I thought we were supposed to be having fun?
This was me. Our old sofas had been with us way too long and it was at the point they weren’t even remotely comfortable. It was the kind of thing where you’d have to keep readjusting the cushions in order to be comfortable. And then readjust them again. And again. I realized nothing on this planet would make these things comfortable again and I just couldn’t do it anymore. Sorry old buddies, you’re so out of here. It was time for some spanking new sofas. Start cleaning out the room.
What Is Article?
The stars must have been aligning because it was right around this time Article, a company with a new concept in streamlined, stress-free furniture shopping contacted us. They asked us to give them and their furniture an honest try. Their aesthetic is mid-century and contemporary furniture designs with clean lines in a variety of different fabrics including some indulgent and luxurious options like velvet and leather. Life is about trying and experiencing new things after all. And after browsing their site for a bit I loved what I saw.
What Makes Article Different From A Typical Furniture Store?
While today it’s not uncommon for furniture stores to have a website, Article does it a little differently. Article delivers their furniture direct from them to you. They’ve figured out how to cut out all those expensive layers of furniture business middlemen that end up making your furniture cost more. By doing this they’re able to offer a higher quality of furniture at a much lower price point than you would typically encounter at a traditional furniture retailer. Their clean, chic designs are original to them and you don’t have to waste any time visiting showrooms. That means no pushy sale
