You can buy a really good leather reclining sectional starting at around $4k on each side of the sectional for an L-shape sectional. And that's for power recline with top grain leather where you sit and PU on the sides and back. Anything lower than that for similar items, the sectional is either on clearance or the manufacturer has cut some corners on the material.

Power recline+headrest on each side of an L-shape sectional can go to 4.5k~5k with console.

10k to 13k are definitely made in USA, branded products prices and most likely top grain leather all over. You're paying for a luxury product with that luxury price tag.

Leggett and Platt reclining mechanism is great. They are well known for their quality. Call these retailers and ask what mechanisms they use, if they use Leggett and Platt then you're off to a good start. Okin electric motors is great, you won't hear the reclining noise.

Here is what I offer on Amazon, you can follow my bullet points and description as a buying guide.

Depending on where you live, I would shop locally. Look for local furniture stores with 4.5+ star google reviews, they usually have good stuff.

If you are spending over $7k on a reclining sectional, you better be getting power recline, headrest, lumbar, 100% leather all over with console. I can custom make you a fully decked out 100% leather reclining sectional for less, all day long.

Hope this helps!

I have boxes of those casters you linked to. So basically you just want to put regular wooden legs on it right? It is actually quite an easy task. What couch has those on there, just curious?

The Caster fits into an insert in the wood. First you must remove that insert/grommet. Then screw in one of these inserts using an allen wrench. Chose 5/16th or 1/4 according to the leg you pick out. Slightly oversize the hole...carefully. You can just wiggle a bit around if you want. https://www.amazon.com/Z-Threaded-Hex-Flush-Internal-Threads/dp/B002713X8G/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=5%2F16+insert&qid=1556762868&s=gateway&sr=8-4 When you screw these in do it in the same method of using a tap/die set. They are easy to bend. Do a back/forth motion. If it gets tight pull out entirely, enlarge hole. Grab a new one if you feel like you bent it. If your whole wasnt large enough its easy to bend those. If you screw up use one of those easy out screw stripped out removal tools. I buy the cheapy ones like this but other inserts don't have the issues of easily bending.

Your main bolt sizes in furniture are 5/16 & 1/4 inch ... and their metric counter parts (#6 or #8) . You will be using one of those. Probably American 5/16th when you buy legs. Just stain them some kind of black/brown.... that gos with anything.

If your hole is too large for some reason. Glue in a dowel with the holes diameter/depth(your starting over from scratch). Let dry. Then create the appropriate size hole with a drill starting in the center of the dowel.

So far its been great. I bought this one in a "7" out of 10, 10 being most soft. Latex is a fast-acting foam so it has a similar feel to the way an innerspring would react, rather than slow-acting memory foam. Like I said its only been a week, but so far I am pleased and would buy again.

Oh and if you decide to go with this mattress buy it from their website where you can get a 10% discount amazon doesn't give.

I've had a few futons over the years and I gotta say my favorite mattress so far (link below) was 8'' thick with springs. Some of the mattresses are thinner, without springs and for extended periods of use they can be uncomfortable.

I'd make sure the futon's sturdy. If you were to get a metal one (for example) make sure the support bars are thick! If they're not they'll start to bend before you know it.

Another suggestion is to make sure your futon has a metal stopper at the end of the frame. This keeps your mattress from sliding forward. If you have a thicker mattress or if you move around a lot you'll want something to keep your mattress from sliding forward which is where the stopper comes in handy.

This would be a good example of a metal frame with thicker bars and a stopper...

If you look at the front of the bed you'll see two bars that go vertical (I just call them stoppers, no idea what they're actually called.) Those are important to keep your mattress from sliding down!

And here's a link for a killer mattress (I'm using it right now for my futon which I sleep on every night.)

1. A piece of plywood on top of the slats and under the mattress this is assuming there is a little lip around for the slats the lay on.
   
2. We also use these in our living room with the reclining couches and they are a little pricey but work wonderfully and never see any sliding on our floors

There are a lot of things like that, and they vary a lot in terms of price and visual style: closet organizer, closet shelving system, closet kit, shelf cube storage... Hopefully one of those is along the lines of what you were looking for.

I applied this to it (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00771KRIA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9ToUDbMNVCGZC) but it didn’t seem to help at all. Is there something else I should try?

You can get sliders or rollers you can put under any furniture to move it. They're cheap and available in many hardware stores.

Alternatively, you can replace furniture legs with casters for a more permanent solution.

They may have the book at your local library. I'm sure the cover photo details are in the book. https://www.amazon.com/New-Chic-Leading-Interior-Designers/dp/0847858235

The size you are describing is more along the lines of a shoe rack or DVD shelf I think - might want to try searching using those terms.

How about the Bell'O ATC402 or ATCA90111?

Crutchfield sells the ATC402 as well, but it's listed as out of stock on their site right now.

Much more expensive than Ikea furniture, but these units are designed for home theatre equipment so perhaps they will work for you.

I use ssscat to keep my cats off the counters and such. It has a motion sensor and sprays compressed air. It won't fix the damage done, but it will keep them from doing more (or being on the table in general).

One with a scat mat on it. He won't even go near the damn thing once he jumps on it a couple times.
