Custom Sofas vs Store-Bought Sofas: Why Miami Buyers Choose Custom
When shopping for a sofa in Miami, you’ll see plenty of ready-made options at big-box retailers. But are they really worth the investment? At Candace & Basil, we’ve seen the difference first-hand — and here’s why more Miami homeowners and designers are choosing custom sofas over store-bought.
Store-Bought Sofas
-
Limited sizes and fabrics.
-
Frames often made from particle board or softwoods.
-
Cushions with low-density foam that lose shape in a few years.
-
Designed for price, not longevity.
Custom Sofas from Candace & Basil
-
Built In-House: Solid FSC-certified hardwood frames, kiln-dried for longevity.
-
Unlimited Fabrics: Oeko-Tex® certified performance fabrics, velvets, bouclés, leathers.
-
Custom Comfort: Choose your foam density, cushion fill, spring type, and seat depth.
-

The Cost Comparison
A mass-market sofa may be cheaper upfront but often needs replacing within 5–7 years. A Candace & Basil custom sofais designed to last decades — making it the smarter long-term investment.
In Miami, where style and quality matter, going custom gives you the durability and design flexibility you won’t find in store-bought pieces.
