Which is better for a family with pets?

The Anysun. Its chenille is described as pet-friendly and wrinkle-resistant, and the fabric is easier to clean than leather that can scratch. The West Elm leather is a natural product that shows wear and variation.

The West Elm Harmony has the stronger case on paper: a kiln-dried hardwood frame with reinforced joinery and contract-grade construction. The Anysun lists only a 1-year warranty and does not specify its frame.

Is the West Elm worth the extra money?

If you want leather, a hardwood frame, and a very soft seat, yes. If you want a recliner, cup holders, and no assembly, the Anysun covers those for far less.

Which is better for a small living room?

The Anysun. Its modules are lightweight and split apart to fit through narrow hallways and doorways, and it is 9 inches shorter overall. The West Elm is 117 inches long and its pieces are not meant to stand alone.

Does either need assembly?

The Anysun needs none; it expands from compressed packing within hours. The West Elm arrives as two pieces that attach with visible side connectors, and its legs are removable.

Which has a firmer seat?

The Anysun. It uses high-resilience foam with pocket springs and a cooling gel layer. The West Elm is rated 1 of 5 for firmness, the softest on its scale.
