Sofa Review
"I requested a review of the Room & Board Metro sofa with little opportunity to see brands in person. Mr. Call responded the same day with extraordinary insight into quality, aesthetics, and design history."
Janice M.
Dining Room
"Rather than layering on new purchases, he pushed me to commit fully to the home's original character. He gently called out that the space needed less stuff, not more—exactly what I needed to hear."
K. Strack
Design Consultation
"I didn't want someone to come in and decorate my house for me. I wanted to know if I was about to make a $5,000 mistake on a sofa. Mr. Call gave me the confidence to trust my own taste."

An entry-level mid-century sofa priced above its category. The Joybird Preston runs 2.5 lb foam over a kiln-dried ash frame and carries GREENGUARD Gold certification with no flame retardants or PFAS — but the cushions ship without a dacron wrap, so the seams go wavy and the fabric shifts. Seventy-six is the Mr Call Score. Recommended with reservations.
