Quince built its reputation on affordable cashmere sweaters, washable silk, and carry-on luggage that looks far more expensive than it is. After getting an in-person look at the brand's expanding home collection at Los Angeles' iconic Sunset Tower Hotel, it's clear Quince has big ambitions.
The setting couldn't have been more fitting. Inside one of Hollywood's most glamorous hotels, editors and influencers wandered through rooms styled with cozy sectionals, solid oak storage pieces, luxe accent chairs, and a full dining table setup. At first glance, it looked like a showcase from a luxury retailer where a single sofa could easily cost $5,000 or more.
Then I looked at the price tags, and it became clear why Quince is becoming one of the most interesting brands in home decor. The company has already earned a loyal following for offering direct-to-consumer alternatives to viral wardrobe staples, and now it's applying the same formula to furniture and home accessories.
I've tested and written about affordable luxury products for years, and a few pieces immediately stood out.
First, my $222 haul of accent pieces
While the show-stopping sofas and sideboards inside the Sunset Tower provided an incredible look at the quality of Quince's online catalog, a physical popup shop was curated for immediate gratification. Guests could purchase and take home the brand's premium bedding, fragrances, and accent pillows.
Here's everything I grabbed to bring some Quince touches to my home.
Ribbed Knit Cashmere Throw
Quince price: $172
Comparable retail estimate: $299
The verdict: Unbelievably soft with a premium, substantial weight that instantly elevates any sofa or bed.
The BI reviews team has tested enough Quince cashmere — ranging from their popular women's options to their ultra-cozy menswear collection — to know that their knits are a smart investment.
This throw has the exact same hand-feel that made the brand famous in the first place. The ribbed knit adds gorgeous visual texture, while the weight strikes a nice balance between cozy and breathable. It's the kind of blanket that instantly makes a room look more expensive. And unlike many purely decorative throws, you'll actually use this one. (I already have.)
Home fragrances
Quince price: $30
Comparable retail estimate: $112
The verdict: A rich, warm fragrance that creates a luxury hotel lobby vibe.
Scent is a crucial part of interior design. Since I unboxed it, the Quince Bois de Santal reed diffuser has been filling my living room with warm sandalwood notes that feel complex without being overwhelming or perfume-y. And at $30, you could buy three for less than you'd pay for one from a comparable brand.
Quince price: $20
Comparable retail estimate: $84
The verdict: The ultimate "sleeper hit" for a fast, effortless atmospheric upgrade.
A quick spritz of this grounding scent is one of those sensory upgrades guests notice. For twenty bucks, it's easily one of the fastest ways to generate expensive-home smell on demand.
The furniture that stopped me in my tracks
Teddy Bouclé Petite Wingback Accent Chair
Teddy Bouclé Petite Wingback Accent Chair
Quince price: $525
Comparable retail estimate: $899
The verdict: In person, the Teddy bouclé wingback felt supportive and cozy without looking bulky or eating up floor space.
Bouclé isn't going anywhere. The texture-first fabric trend has survived long enough to prove it's more than a passing Instagram obsession, and this chair shows why.
"Petite" refers to the chair's minimal footprint, which makes it especially appealing for apartments, reading nooks, or bedrooms where a full-size accent chair can overwhelm the room. The texture gives it that designer look shoppers spend hours trying to recreate on Pinterest. This was the piece I kept circling back to.
Performance Velvet Sofas and Chairs
Performance Velvet Sofas and Chairs
Quince price: Starting at $550
The verdict: The pieces upholstered in performance velvet absolutely blew me away. They had a rich, matte texture that felt substantial, heavy, and incredibly soft. No slick, shiny, cheap velvet knockoffs here.
For me, the clear standout at the preview was the brand's push into upholstered seating. Quince is bringing the exact relaxed, deep-seated silhouettes that are currently dominating luxury living room design — oversized cushions and clean lines that feel modern without looking TikTok trendy — into an accessible price bracket.
I sat down expecting a standard showroom couch and got something that felt genuinely lounge-worthy. What impressed me most was how closely the fabric and construction resembled high-end pieces I've tested from West Elm and Pottery Barn. Though I'd need to log several weeks on the Quince couches to give a full verdict, something that's this close to a luxury aesthetic for thousands less is worth a closer look.
Rustic Oak Sideboard
Quince price: $1,600
The verdict: Photos don't always tell you whether furniture feels substantial. This piece does.
The Rustic Oak Sideboard features the kind of craftsmanship details that immediately elevate a room. The oak finish looks natural, not overly-processed, which is rare with a piece that's this affordable. It felt like something you'd find at a boutique store, not a value-focused retailer.
Curved Solid Teak Outdoor Sofa
Curved Solid Teak Outdoor Sofa
Quince price: $1,698
Comparable retail estimate: $3,960
The verdict: Beautiful, warm wood tones built with substantial, weather resistant solid teak.
Outdoor furniture is where sticker shock can hit the hardest. Solid teak pieces regularly command luxury prices, because the material naturally withstands weather, moisture, and years of outdoor use.
The curved teak sofa looked straight out of a five-star hotel pool deck. Its sculptural shape and hefty construction made it one of the most expensive-looking pieces at the preview, but the price tag was dramatically lower than I expected. If you're furnishing a patio from scratch or need a new outdoor set, start here.
What I'd skip
One thing I always look for at events like this isn't just what I'd buy, it's what I'd leave behind.
The glassware
This may be the first time I looked at a Quince product and thought, "Wait, is this actually a deal?" The glassware is perfectly nice. The silhouettes are clean, the styling is elegant, and I wouldn't be upset to receive a set as a housewarming gift. But when I looked at the assortment of glassware on the brand's website and started mentally comparing prices, it didn't give me that Quince feeling of scoring a luxury lookalike for less.
Not that the glasses are expensive, they just don't stand out in the way Quince's cashmere, furniture or bedding does. If I had $100 to spend (again) at Quince right now, I'd put it towards a set of linen sheets or another home fragrance.
The flatware
The Quince flatware is a slightly different story. It's exactly the kind of understated, modern flatware I'd normally gravitate towards. The sets look beautiful, both in person and online, but what I really want to know is how it holds up after six months of weeknight dinners and dishwasher cycles.
Does it maintain its finish? Will it start showing wear and tear faster than expected? Right now, I don't have those answers, since the BI Reviews team hasn't put Quince's flatware or kitchen tools through the kind of long-term testing we'd typically perform before making a recommendation.
Furniture, bedding, home fragrances? Those are easy yeses for me. The flatware drawer can wait a little longer.
The bottom line: Is the Quince home collection actually worth it?
After seeing the collection in person, my answer is yes — with the same caveat I'd give when recommending any furniture brand.
Buying furniture online always requires you to do your homework. You still need to pay attention to dimensions, delivery timelines, and assembly requirements before placing an order.
Fortunately, the BI Reviews team has already spent years putting the brand's textiles to the test, and our long-term Quince home review has already proven how well their core essentials hold up to daily wear and tear.
Seeing these large-scale furniture pieces in person simply confirmed that the same high standards apply across the board. If you're not shopping for furniture, you can still upgrade your living space with the brand's sublimely affordable home décor pieces.
If the furniture line performs as well over time as everything from the brand's bestselling travel gear to their internet-famous silk slip dress, Quince may become one of the biggest disruptors in home retail.
