Buying a made-to-order sofa is exciting but it can take months. From ordering the first fabric swatches to final delivery, it's a slow process. Of course, it's always worth it.

How long does it take for sofas to arrive?

This depends on whether your chosen sofa is made to order or in-stock and ready to ship.

'Sofas where you choose your own fabric, leg style, width, depth, etc. have a longer lead time, but it’s often worth it to have a sofa tailored to your exact style and space,' says Heather Goerzen, lead interior designer at Havenly. 

'Custom sofas like this can take anywhere from 10 to 30+ weeks to be manufactured, shipped, and delivered. Standard sofas that are pre-designed, in-stock and ready to ship can be delivered within a few days or up to 2-3 weeks or so. The timeline is totally up to you and your design preferences, space and style needs.'
