It's outlandish claims like that they tend to give designers a bad name.

You haven't heard some of the horror stories I have, especially with The Brick. One of my friends purchased a sofa out of there and it was basically trash in 6 months, and that's not the only example of that I've heard.
Also, when I'm saying that, it's the durability of the actual mechanics in the sofa, not the fabric itself.
For example the difference in the foam in the $1000 dollar sofa will crush relatively quickly, foam in the $3000 sofa will be more durable. That's actually part of why there is such a difference in cost. Most of the frames of the sofas are kiln dried fibreboard so they won't expand or contract and thus crack. The fabric itself is about 30-60% of the cost, and the rest is the foam.
