Custom and Special Orders

How do I order a custom sofa?

We built our platform to take the most frequently desired aspects and allow you to modify them easily, so you can customize a sofa in 4 easy steps. We also offer free design consultations to help you get exactly what you need, and answer any lingering questions. You choose the following four aspects of your sofa or sectional and we build and deliver that custom creation to you with industry best turnaround times. 


1. Choose your Style - from dozens of popular styles

2. Choose your Size - with any space able to be customized for

3. Choose your Fabric - with over 70 upholstery options and colors

4. Add your finishing touches - firmer cushions for longevity; foot style and special finishes. 

Making an appointment with our design expert at our San Jose showroom will give you the best experience.

Are these products truly 100% made in the USA?

Absolutely. Every single custom piece of furniture, framing & suspension that we make is manufactured in California, USA. Certain materials and components are sourced from outside of the United States as needed. 

What Is Your Return Policy on Custom Sofas, Sectionals & Arm Chairs?

At What A Room Furniture we want you to absolutely love every signature piece you create with us. We also want your purchase to be just right. This is why we offer an unparalleled 30 day return policy on all our custom pieces. You will be refunded the original purchase amount minus a 15% processing fee and any related shipping & return costs. What A Room Furniture Inc. reserves the right to refuse returns or exchanges of items that are not in as-new condition due to damage or misuse by the customer.

What warranty do the couches and sectionals have?

We offer a limited lifetime warranty on our framing and a one year warranty against manufacturer’s defects.

Our limited lifetime warranty guarantees the framing and suspension of our custom sofas, sectionals, arm chairs, to be free from manufacturer’s defect for the useful life of the product. Our one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects covers the fabric and cushions resiliency. In the case of a manufacturer’s defect, What A Room will provide replacement parts, repair, or a full replacement. This is applicable to the original owner and original delivery address only. Modifications made to a What A Room furniture item by the customer (including third party legs) may waive this guarantee and void the warranty.

How do I pick the EXACT dimensions of my sofa or sectional?

Our best recommendation is to call us for a FREE custom design consultation. It doesn’t have to be lengthy or complicated, and we are low pressure, and can answer all your questions. 

If you prefer to order without our assistance, you can put dimensions in the custom notes field on your order. We require a length on all linear dimensions, and some styles will require additional measurements, like depth, etc. All standardized dimensions for each style and platform type will be present on the product page for that sofa/sectional. For instance, if you require a 96” long sofa, you will input that dimension into notes after selecting the corresponding drop down length on the product page. 

Because of the nature of a custom piece of furniture, we encourage you to measure twice, and be certain of the dimensions and option choices before you order. You can read our terms and conditions regarding custom furniture HERE.

Are the pictures online accurate? Will the colors and styles look the same when I get my custom into my home?

We are constantly improving our representation of custom products on our website. That said, every monitor and display could have slight variations for color. We invite you to look through our reviews (pictures are often submitted by customers), our showroom photos, and the “in situ” graphics on our website to determine the accuracy of the colors and fabrics. The comparative representation should give you an extremely accurate idea of what to expect. 

What happens if I have more specific needs than what your online options allow for a custom sofa or sectional? For example, what if I need a depth that is deeper than your sofa style dictates.  

We do our best to provide all customers with a perfectly tailored product that fits their needs. We invite you to reach out to us if you need something beyond what our online store allows in customization options. It is highly likely we can find a solution for you, whether it is an extremely uncommon dimension, or a different upholstery type, or a custom pillow request. We can be contacted for these types of inquiries by emailing to sales@whataroom.com

Are your sofas safe to use for babies and kids?
