Furniture

Furniture in Cincinnati should be bought the way it's lived with: sat in, measured and seen in a room. That's how this floor works.

Online now: more than 200 pieces from Four Hands, from the Amber Lewis Kent sofa in recycled chenille to the Halston lounge chair in Italian top-grain leather and the Idella extension dining table in solid oak. Bernhardt's Albion sofa, Noir's leather-and-brass Prince bar stool and Doing Goods' wool tiger and leopard rugs round it out. That's nearly 50 coffee tables, nearly 50 dining tables, close to 60 dining chairs and more than 20 swivel chairs.

We said no a hundred times so you could say yes once.

The lamps that go with it live in lighting.

How to Choose Furniture for a Room

Measure first, then sit, then decide. Most furniture regret is a size problem, not a style problem.

Sofas and Sectionals

Sit before you buy, and check the seat depth. Bernhardt's Albion sofa runs a single seat cushion the full length, so nobody lands on a seam, over a Marshall-style coil core wrapped in foam and a down, feather and fiber blend. It's 89 inches wide and 41.5 deep, with a 26-inch seat. The Amber Lewis for Four Hands Kent sofa is upholstered in recycled chenille on S-spring suspension with bench-style seating and brass casters at the front. Its price changes with the fabric, so ask to see swatches. Four Hands' Colt sectional comes as a two-piece modular with a left or right-facing chaise.

The correction we make most in client living rooms is a sofa that's too small for the wall it's on. Measure the wall, then leave room at each end for a side table or a lamp.

Chairs That Swivel, Recline and Lounge

Swivel chairs are the hardest-working seats in a room, because they face the conversation and the fireplace. The Augustine Swivel Chair from Four Hands is a library chair with vertical channeling, a full-circle swivel and an S-spring seat, in fabric or top-grain leather. The Halston pairs a tufted sling seat of top-grain leather from a family-owned tannery in Bassano del Grappa, Italy, with a matching ottoman. Four Hands' Sinclair cocktail ottoman holds a tray on a solid parawood base, and the Amelie swivel recliner and Kenlee power recliner cover the reclining side.

Dining Tables and Dining Chairs

Size the table to the room and the chairs to the table. The Idella extension dining table is oak veneer and solid oak on a trestle base, with two insert leaves on wood glides and leg levelers for an uneven floor. The Lucy round dining table tops a stacked marble pedestal with a solid slab of merlot marble. Our guide to dining table seating capacity covers how many chairs each size really seats.

Four Hands' dining chairs include the Joseph, a slim armless chair on solid wood legs, joined with mortise and tenon and corner blocks. The Vista slipcovered chair wraps the shoulders with a tall curved back, and the Colven banquette builds a booth in sections, from a 49-inch bench to a corner piece.

Coffee Tables, Stools and Rugs

Nearly fifty coffee tables are online in this collection, from drum tables to nesting sets. Uttermost's Sanaga drink table is solid aluminum, 10 inches across and 25 tall. Noir's stools pair leather and brass on welded metal frames. Bernhardt's Halden cocktail table and Brasea console table are online too. Doing Goods' rugs are 100% wool backed with cotton, made in India, including the Lonny leopard at about 98 by 63 inches.

Furniture Built to Last

Check the joinery before the fabric, because fabric can be changed and a frame can't. Our guide to furniture construction checks covers what to look for, and the listings here say it plainly.

  • Frames: mortise and tenon joinery with corner blocks on chairs like the Joseph and the Vista.
  • Seats: S-spring suspension on the Kent and the Augustine, coil cores on the Albion.
  • Materials: solid oak, solid parawood, top-grain leather, marble and solid aluminum, named on each listing.
  • Leg levelers: on the Idella table and the Sinclair ottoman.
  • The finishing layer: pillows from designer pillows change a sofa without changing the sofa.

FAQ

Furniture in Cincinnati: Questions We Get Asked on the Floor

If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.

What furniture does High St. carry?

Sofas and sectionals, swivel chairs, lounge chairs and recliners, dining tables and dining chairs, coffee tables, ottomans, stools and rugs. Online, most of it comes from Four Hands, with Bernhardt, Noir, Uttermost and Doing Goods alongside.

Do you carry Four Hands furniture in Cincinnati?

Yes. More than 200 Four Hands pieces are online, from the Kent sofa by Amber Lewis to the Idella extension dining table. Many listings come in several fabrics, leathers or sizes, like the Augustine in seven covers. Call 513.723.1901 to ask what's on the floor before you come in.

How deep should a sofa be?

Check the seat depth, not just the overall depth. Bernhardt's Albion has a 26-inch seat in a 41.5-inch-deep frame, which suits people who sit back and stay there. Shorter seats suit people who sit upright. Sit in it for five minutes before deciding.

What size dining table do I need?

Size it to the room first, then to the chairs. Leave about 36 inches between the table edge and the wall so chairs can pull out. An extension table like the Idella adds two leaves when you need them. Our journal guide to dining table seating capacity covers the counts by size.

Can I choose a different fabric?

On some pieces, yes. The Kent sofa's price changes with the fabric you choose, so call 513.723.1901 or come in to see swatches. The Colven banquette comes in a cream performance fabric of polyester, acrylic and flax, and the Augustine swivel chair has a Crypton fabric option.

What's the difference between furniture and the design studio?

Furniture is what we carry, online and on the floor. The design studio plans whole rooms and houses, from the furniture to the lighting and finishes. If you need one piece, start here, and if you need a whole room, call the studio.

Do you sell mattresses?

No, we don't carry mattresses. For the bedroom, our design studio can plan the furniture around the bed you already have.
