Ethan Allen makes incredibly solid sofas with a ton of options for fabric... built to order. We love ours!
older Ethan Allen and Pottery Barn pieces on facebook marketplace are def worth hunting for
I would include Bassett at the A level on par w Ethan Allen as far as construction. Think EA has slightly better design options.
