I really likeee the look of this sofa. It has a really nice velvet sheen and Id say its actual color is very accurately represented in the product images as well as the pictures I provided. The overall build quality is pretty good and it feels sturdy. I likeee the way the split back folds down and the mechanism that latches into place to hold the back rest at pre-set angles works very well also.
I have this in a guest room where it will primarily be used for sitting and watching TV. Its not super comfortable but its fine. The seat and back are both firm but they do have some give. I generally prefer more of a firm feel rather than sinking into a giant marshmallow but Im sure that some people will not loveee the comfort level of this futon. I havent opened it up to use as a bed but when laying on it in the couch configuration it is quite comfortable, substantially more so than when sitting.
As for delivery and assembly I have no major complaints. The sofa arrived in a square box and all of the large velvet pieces were wrapped in black cloth bags which both protected it during shipping and provided a helpful aid when dragging it up the stairs. One corner of the shipping box was kind of shredded but there was zero damage whatsoever to the sofa or even the cloth packing cover for that matter.
Assembly was fairly easy and consisted of less than 10 steps. The whole project took me about 2 hours total including the time to unbox it, drag it upstairs, and unwrap and account for all of the hardware. As for assembly time itself, it was probably a little more than an hour. My only minor complaint or thing to note is that a few of the nuts/bolts where the arms attach to the base are extremely hard to access with the provided wrench. I ended up using a ratchet with a 12 MM socket. I didnt try for very long to tighten the nuts with the provided wrench but my initial impression was that it was going to be extremely annoying and perhaps even impossible on a couple of them. So Id say youll probably want to have a ratchet and socket or a box wrench handy.
Overall this was a good choice for a handsome, if not super comfortable, sofa at a reasonable price.
Looks great but YMMV
