Hi
Villa Furniture Is putting all new furniture in my new Cornerstone. I am beta testing some new designs for them. The existing 2015 Cornerstone furniture, being the darker brown, is beautiful and very comfortable! I am having the switch done at Villa in California. [moderator edit]
Thanks

Villa Furniture is in Cerritos California. They are the manufacturer of Entegras and Newmars furniture in most of their high end models. Great furniture! They also make all the furniture for Newell, Prevost Marathon etc.

Hope to see some pics soon!

Harvey,

Not sure which dark brown you're referring to...we have the dark brown Villa. We were concerned about the dark color until we saw it against the lighter cherrywood woodwork...couldn't be more pleased. Really stands out.

They must have several lines of furniture. We saw an Allegro Bus with the Villa recliner sofas and I felt that they were not comfortable at all for what should have been high-end furniture. Got any pics?

FWIW, there seem to be levels of quality in Villa furniture. Our Anthem Villa furniture was relatively uncomfortable, but the CS is great. Think the differences lay in the quality of the foam cushion. I have seen the more comfortable furniture in most of the higher end coaches. Can't say I liked the designs (e.g. the "tufted" look in King Aire, but it was comfortable) of all the furniture. One thing for sure, expensive in the midline coaches and only goes up!

Personally, I think the Anthems furniture is very comfortable. Again, just my opinion.

DSL417 · 02-14-2015, 07:23 PM

Many of us were disappointed with the versions in 2013...it may be better now.

It IS better now. My 13 Anthem had very uncomfortable furniture. My neighbors 15 Anthem has very comfy furniture. JMHO

Hate to disagree but my wife and I agree that our furniture, captain and co pilot chairs are extremely uncomfortable and the sofa is no better. Probably going to have to do something in the near future it is so bad.

Wow - looks like we've got chocolate and vanilla and maybe Coke and Pepsi going.

DW And I both prefer our 2013 furniture to the CS. Go figure.

Not a surprise, many coaches had very good furniture but some were very hard to use. Had to do with the foam stuffing. Some was stiff some not so much and some did not get stuffed into the ultra leather correctly, giving a sloping or uneven surface to sit on. At least that was our experience and JMHO

Having had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time with Robert, who runs Villa and is also the main designer of all their lines I have learned quite a bit:
Villa is subject to what the Manufacturers want. Sometimes Villa suggests on size and Manufacturers want that extra 1 inch or 2 inches somewhere else
There are definite differences between the Cab seats in all the models.
The Cornerstone furniture is slightly deeper and the real leather over time retains a more rigid feel. It is also stuffed different. The frames are the same in the Anthem and Cornerstone. The furniture in all the models is different, although it is all very subjective to what different people find comfortable.
Villa has acknowledged some issues in the 13's. I find them to make the finest furniture for coaches available, and also find them to be a company that wants to evolve and make changes based on owners use and opinions.
The sloping of some of the furniture is one very good example. They have listened and made a lot of changes due to feedback. That has been re-designed and corrected.
