I am an architect and interior designer with decades of focus on luxury residential design. My wife and I have a 2 yr old Sixpenny Neva sectional sofa with slipcovers in their beautiful washed cotton linen in blanched almond. The material has held up terribly. In only 2 years of moderate use, it has worn out and now has multiple abrasion holes on the seating surfaces from very mild usage (2 adults, no kids or pets) in only 2 years. The fabric is absolutely stunning when new but should not have been offered as a choice by Sixpenny. The fabric is simply too delicate to be spec'd for seating and that is their fault. It is shameful that a $4,000 couch lasted only 2 years before needing new slipcovers. We are very very troubled by this situation as we have (as design professionals) recommended Sixpenny to both friends and clients and have a number of their sofas in our two homes (our other sofas are covered in Sixpenny's heavier cotton twill canvas and are holding up, but the more expensive linen covered sofa is a true disaster. We are awaiting to her back from Sixpenny and will revise this review if they assist in correcting this failure.
