8 Reasons Why Albany Park is Our Favorite New Online Sofa Brand

My wife and I recently bought a new house that was a real fixer-upper: floors, electrical, trim, HVAC – everything needed fixin'.
Once we had the house looking spiffy, we immediately wanted to get all new furniture...and we were especially ready to swap out our white sectional sofa, with all the stains and sagging that come with a 3-year old couch for a family of five.
I came across Albany Park via an IG ad in my feed. I had never heard of them but was immediately intrigued. The camel-colored sectional sofa was exactly what we had in mind for our mid-century modern vibe. And vegan leather? What was that?
After about a month of deliberation, we finally pulled the trigger. And, I'm SO glad we did. The sofa is amazing. We are in love with it.
So, without further ado, I present to you, 8 reasons why Albany Park is our few favorite online sofa brand👇
1. Ships in a box, with super easy setup
The Albany Park sofa was specifically designed to ship in a compact box, so that you can easily unpack it, even in a small apartment.
Our sectional arrive in three boxes, and unboxing it was super easy.
2. Incredibly comfy and high-quality construction
Albany Park sofas are made with premium memory foam, to give you the perfect amount of support and cushiony bounce. You can tell just by sitting on it, that this thing is durable and will be able to stand the test of time...and kids.

The overall fit and finish of the Albany Park sofa is exceptional. We are blown away. For a sofa that ships in a box, that is 'vegan leather' it is indiscernible from high-end furniture from the likes of Interior Define, West Elm or Restoration Hardware.
If you want to impress the neighbors and save some dough, Albany Park is the way to go.
4. The Vegan Leather looks and feels just like the real thing
We chose the 'vegan leather' option for our sofa and loveseat (pictured here). When we put our Albany Park side-by-side with our Burrow real leather club chair and ottoman, you literally could not tell the difference, in both feel and appearance. If anything, Albany Park's vegan leather has a grain which appears more authentic and expensive. You can easily mistake this sofa for one costing thousands more.
