Burrow has made waves in the furniture world since it launched in 2016, and their range of mid-century modern sofas is definitely worth checking out. The brand now has two collections, both of which include modular sofas that can be customized by fabric (leather and velvet are now available), leg finish, arm style, and cushion style. You can also add on ottomans, chaises, and lumbar pillows to complete the look. It's not cheap, but also not nearly as expensive as other brands.

Amazon

Amazon might be your go-to for smaller everyday essentials, but it should also be on your radar if you're shopping for a mid-century modern sofa. The site's furniture section is unsurprisingly vast, but you can narrow it down by searching for just sofas or by filtering just mid-century pieces. Amazon's inventory includes plenty of big-name brands, including Novogratz and Zinus, but be sure to check out Amazon's in-house brands as well. In particular, Rivet (view at Amazon) is full of budget-friendly mid-century pieces.

If you really want something one-of-a-kind, you can do some digging to find an authentic mid-century sofa from the '50s or '60s. 1stDibs has a pretty incredible selection of MCM sofas on offer, all from vetted dealers. And while some are over $100K, there are also quality finds that are surprisingly affordable. While 1stDibs is an excellent source for discovering vintage pieces, you’ll want to act fast since turnover for popular styles is pretty quick.
