We have owned this sofa since 2006 and it was used at that time. We had it recovered in Buttercup Yellow faux suede at the recommendation of a Kansas City Antique dealer (where we purchased it) who specialized in mid century modern furniture. This fabric has been amazing and I have scrubbed it many times. We had the cushions re-stuffed and cleaned and all 96 buttons where removed and recovered. However at this stage this piece could use a good professional scrubbing to help with the cording around the arms and seat and the cushions. We have kept it covered since we decided to list it.

This sofa is beautiful in it's design and is so well constructed. It offers 9 feet of sofa seating on solid brass legs which is just as sturdy as when we purchased it. It makes an impression and you almost feel like "The rat pack" might check in. It looks light but is heavy when you lift it. It takes two people to move it because it is heavy. And the legs are set in such a way that they appear to be hidden and doing nothing for support but in reality that is not true. This sofa has a hole underneath it (which cannot be seen ) and we expanded it just a touch so our buyer should see the wooden frame is wrapped in steel strips and cording and it never sags. This is typical of Dunbar sofa's We also pictured all the leg holes so you could see there is no problem with them and the legs are solid brass.

We hate to part with our Dunbar Sofa but are aging and need to downsize, take a look and let us know your questions and your offer. We think this price is very reasonable for this piece of iconic Mid Century Modern.

Thank you See less
