Does the job. First and foremost / quality control? Inspecting a product before it goes out? At the very least making sure that all of the pieces are in the freaking box before you send it to the customer? Havent heard of her. The first couch I got was clearly a return from someone else and was missing whole large sections. I found this out only after taking my old couch to the curb for trash pickup, so Ive spent the last week without a couch which was something I was trying to avoid.
Got the replacement, and I have to say I genuinely hate whoever designed the hardware for this couch. I thought for a minute that Id have to send this one back too because it looked like the brackets were misaligned and impossible to put together. After nearly 20 minutes of struggling with one side alone, I finally pulled them together with everything I had in me. The flap on the underside of the couch doesnt reach the Velcro completely, and stretching it as far as I could to try to make it reach caused the staples that were holding some of the fabric together to pop out. Overall Ive had an easier time putting together ikea furniture.
Comfort wise? The seats are a little on the firm side, but I imagine theyll soften up as time goes on. The backrest is comfortable enough and Im satisfied enough with it to not want to deal with having to send this one back.
UPDATE: its been about 2 weeks since I got the couch, and already its squeaking something fierce and the seats are sinking in a bit. I dont see this couch lasting long and Im a fairly small woman.
Good enough, but poor quality control
