Literally in the market right now, furnishing a new home. Likely getting a Casper, and hunting a couch - so far Joybird and Article in the lead but definitely more expensive. - Concern: Design matters quite a bit on a purchase like this and the site's design leaves a little to be desired - What's in the cushions? Foam weight? - Measurements? Seat depth?

@dshan This is our beta site. Focused on product first and now building out our eCommerce presence. I'd love to talk more about how we can improve and answer any questions you have! Email me at stephen@hiburrow.com. Cushions have a high-density foam core with pillow-top-and-bottom. I herniated two discs rowing in college so needed to build something that would be comfortable and supportive for hours on end. 3-seater is 83" x 32" x 27" and the seat depth is 22".

Buying a high-quality sofa at an affordable price shouldn't suck, and the guys at Burrow are solving this problem for everyone. They manufacture and sell their designer sofa for a fraction of the price of high-end retailers. By reverse engineering their sofa to ship in compact boxes directly to you from their warehouse, they cut out showroom / sales team markups and reduce shipping costs by over 70%. Their sofa takes less than 10 minutes to assemble, no tools required, and they are including things like stain resistant fabrics (you can see them testing it out), premium cushioning, and a hidden, built-in power outlet to charge electronics since sofas always block outlets. I met these guys at a startup pitch competition in LA this summer. Really sharp, dedicated and super nice. They're giving everyone on ProductHunt $75 off with promo code PRODUCTHUNT. I've ordered one :)

guys, its a couch!

@tschellenbach Is it JUST a couch? Or is the center of your living room? Once you have your sofa, it becomes the center of all the action, yet couches typically feel more like stubborn baggage than an easy wingman. They're either cheap and flimsy, or heavy and expensive, and inevitably won’t fit into your next space. But without a sofa, your house is not a home, and your living room has no life. Burrow is the life of the party and your support after a long day. So is it REALLY just a couch? You tell me.

@stephen_kuhl @tschellenbach It's also a couch with USB ports (!!!)

nice - bought one.

DO NOT GET THIS COUCH! The idea is wonderful and tempting- that's why we got it. However, in set up and use, this couch is a HUGE disappointment. They said it would arrive in 2 weeks, it took 6. We asked for money back, they said they'd give us $100 back ($50 at first) and again, 6 weeks later and nothing. When we got the couch, we had missing parts and couldn't put the couch together properly. In early Dec, they said they'd send the new part and guess what? IT'S STILL NOT HERE! Then, the cushions... UGH! They're showing signs of wear after only a few weeks! What?!? Sunken and dented cushions that don't return to their original shape. Just awful! Avoid this couch! Repeat, do NOT get this couch. Save your money for a more reputable co. Very disappointed. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Pros:

Looks nice (at first)

Cons:

False advertising, poor quality, missing parts, and poor costumer service.

Absolutely love the idea, especially as a dog owner, frequent spiller, and NYC dweller ;-) Couple of questions: 1) are there slipcovers? 2) are there plans to offer an ottoman expansion to turn it into an L-shaped sofa?
Stephen Kuhl
Maker
@8bitkid No slip covers but the cushion fabrics are removable and washable. We will offer an ottoman that connects to the sofa to create a sectional. That should come out later this year or early next year.

@stephen_kuhl Fantastic! Do you have a showroom anywhere?

@8bitkid We're currently featured in an AirBnB showroom in NYC. Email me for details if you're in the city (stephen@hiburrow.com). Otherwise we will have our own at some point next year.

The 'spill proof' gifs are not good marketing, how often is my couch at a 45 degree angle? Your potential customers will see through that "feature" very quickly.
Matt
@alancassinelli it's gold if you have kids
Alan Cassinelli
@professorz agree, but why not have a gif of a kid knocking over a soda vs. propped up on a saw horse?

@alancassinelli @professorz it's tough to show the whole process of how stains get out easily in a gif. These show how most of the liquid literally bounces off. More videos and gifs to come soon showing all sorts of weight and liquid tests!

So... You sprayed hydrophobic chemicals on a couch. Please tell me why I should buy one instead of buying the spray and making everything I own impervious to disaster.

@elizabethhunker Stain resistant fabrics are probably the 6th or 7th best thing about our sofa. Check out our website and you'll see what makes us so special www.hiburrow.com

@stephen_kuhl okay, I see there's usb chargers. Other than that - it's easy for you to ship & for me to assemble - but that's not a reason to buy/own a thing. I'd love to be stoked on it, really, but a plug and the fabric alone isn't doing it for me.

@elizabethhunker All that and a sofa that's on par with West Elm and Crate & Barrel in terms of quality and design but for a fraction of the price. I'd love to hear some ideas on how to improve the product even more. Shoot me an email at stephen@hiburrow.com.
bill irwin
@elizabethhunker AFAIK the sprays wear off easily, discolor materials, and are very unimpressive in real world usage (anything longer than a youtube video or GIF). I hope/assume this treatment is more durable.

I've been really excited about Burrow 🛋(previously Penn & Hunt) since I first met Stephen & Kabeer during the RECESS Pitch Competition at UPenn. These guys are extremely smart with great backgrounds that compliment each other. Happy to know that @erictwillis hunted these guys for launch 🚀
