Williams-Sonoma accuses Amazon of copying West Elm furniture

Recently I went shopping for a new, nice, couch.

After having visited all the local medium and high the retailers, my choice was which slight variation of preferred leather couch style did I want.

All the furniture companies turn out very similar models. If you pay close attention you can spot when one retailer releases a new design, a 6-8 month delay, and then the "inspired copies" being released by other furniture brands.
