Sofa/Sectional

Stanton Sofa: 467SOFA

Stanton gives customers the power to personalize their furniture, offering hundreds of fabrics along with a wide range of styles, from classic stationary sofas to large sectionals and motion seating. This level of customization not only makes it easy for shoppers to match their space and lifestyle, but also opens opportunities for upgraded fabrics, elevated textures, and premium finishes.

Built to last, Stanton backs its craftsmanship with robust warranties, often including a limited lifetime warranty on key components like the frame and springs. This gives customers added confidence that they’re investing in quality, not disposable furniture.

Proudly family-owned and based in Canby, Oregon since 1973, Stanton manufactures right here in the Pacific Northwest. For retailers like Kelly’s, that local production story resonates strongly with customers who value American-made goods and want to support regional businesses.
