Introduction (0:00)
We’re the UK’s biggest furniture outlet. We receive and handle thousands of models straight from retailers every year. There is nobody more knowledgeable about today’s brand name furniture than us. Welcome to Joseph James Reviews. Today we’re looking at the Mariah. Key features: deep seats and very, very comfortable.
From the Ariana to the Mariah (0:17)
The Mariah is from Furniture Village, and they used to have the exact same model, just that it was named the Ariana. The Ariana was manufactured by Alexander & James, who sadly went into administration in early 2026. When that happened, for legal reasons, they had to change the name. It’s not called the Ariana any more, but nothing other than the name has changed fundamentally. If you bought an Ariana in the past, you can buy a Mariah to match.
Comfort and seat depth (0:38)
These sofas have always been popular for the style and the comfort. They’ve got quite deep seats, which people love to sink into, but they’re also quite supportive as well. As you can see, I’m very, very comfortable at the moment.
Dapple velvet fabric and piping (0:50)
The style, with the dapple velvet look, is really popular. Dapple velvet is really a microfibre, a really tight fabric that liquids can’t seep into, but more importantly, it’s got that marble look to it, which is modern and very popular right now. You can also have different piping on each of the arms. You can have no piping, brass piping, which looks gold, or chrome piping, which is silver.
Cushions and maintenance (1:12)
All the cushions can be removed and reversed to help maintain them, or to quickly hide any stains. They’re all unzippable and can be put in the wash for easy maintenance.
Will it fit through the door? (1:22)
It’s got a big frame, but it’s surprisingly easy to get through the doors due to the removable legs and cushions. The big frame is sturdy, though, and it should last you many, many years.
Sizes and price (1:33)
The sofas and chairs come in a variety of sizes and are well priced, in my opinion, due to the size and quality.
Verdict (1:41)
The Mariah gets a Joseph James score of 8.5. It’s not the most beautiful piece we’ve ever seen, but it’s very popular, very modern and very comfortable.
