Our Verdict
3 / 5 STARS

A newer brand doing cool things in the furniture space but not sure enough of the pricetag is flowing into the sofa... Quality is disappointing, expect to pay for the hip experience.

Our Verdict
3.5 / 5 STARS

Nice product, attention to detail and they offer the customization elements you’re looking for. All made overseas though so expect to wait a really long time for your order and if something is wrong, expect to wait all over again.

Background

Made In

"Burrow products are thoughtfully designed in the USA and manufactured with carefully vetted partners from all over the world – including those in North Carolina, Vietnam, Poland, and India."

About

"We knew that if we wanted to make a meaningful difference, it wouldn’t be as simple as putting a couch in a box and selling it online. To set a new standard, we had to focus on three fundamental changes: a modular platform, a focus on function and fashion, and an investment in community and experience."
