Pet Hair Magnet
I purchased the Nomad sectional sofa in rust fabric in November 2022. I like the look of the sofa and appreciate the firm support it provides. I find most sofas very uncomfortable and this one has remained comfortable and still looks pretty good. However, wanted to share some major negatives about this sofa. First, I bought it because Burrow advertises the fabric as pet friendly. That may be true if you have a hairless pet but if your pet (or a person in your household) sheds even a tiny bit, the couch fabric will find every strand of hair in your house, attract it like a magnet and then hang onto it for dear life. I've tried every hair removal item available -- mitts, tape, vacuum, specialized pet attachments, pulling the covers and putting them in the dryer and NOTHING works without hours of effort. The hair gets embedded in the tight weave of the fabric and you can't even pull many of the hairs out with your fingers. It even finds its way in there when the sofa is covered in blankets (not the look I am going for BTW). The other negative is how unnecessarily difficult it is to put this sofa together. Once its together it looks good, but it is hard to line up the pieces and get your hands where they need to be to get the pieces to go together. Even though I love the brick red color of the sofa and the low, modern look and the firmness, I would not buy it again (and am seriously thinking about replacing it) because it is impossible to keep clean.

Hi KD, Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. While we’re really glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the look and feel of your Nomad sectional, we understand how frustrating it is when a fabric marketed as pet-friendly doesn’t feel easy to maintain in a real home with shedding pets. Pet-friendly should still feel livable, and we’re sorry this fabric has required so much effort to keep clean. We also appreciate your feedback around assembly, as that’s an important part of the overall experience too. Your comments have been shared with our team as we continue working to improve as a company, and if there's anything more you'd like to share, we'd love to hear it. Feel free to reach out directly to [email protected].
