It is no less and no more than what I expected for the price. I am using it in my office bedroom where it will probably get light use (unless the cats continue to hog the couch in the living room). Two or three people are recommended for assembly in the instructions, which were pretty clear overall. My motto being, When all else fails, follow the instructions, I assembled it myself, and it wasnt too hard, just requiring a bit of muscle. The seating is quite firm, but foam tends to soften with use. I find it very comfortable to sit on. My height is 57 and the couch is long enough for me to lie on comfortably, however it is a little narrow front to back for lying because the fronts of the seat cushions are curved so theres little flat surface; it feels like it would be easy to roll off accidentally.
Received the couch on Jan 20. Posting this review on Jan 31.
I really needed a couch. I was living off a terrible futon excuse for a couch and it was killing my humanity.
I looked at real couches, but after measuring my entrance, I sadly came to the conclusion that my entrance can only fit an item of a width of 30 inches and a depth of 33 inches, that I could never have couch that was per/built.
Then comes in ! I had already purchased a bed frame about two years earlier that I am still very still very content with, so when I saw they also did couches that came in boxes, I was pretty confident in my choice.
THE PLAYERS: me:: 5 feet 5 inches, 34 inch legs. Partner: 6 feet 0 inches
GETTING THE COUCH: They just left it on my porch. (no surprise here as that is what they do for everything.) It was big enough that no porch thieves could steal it, but compact enough that if you really wanted to bring it in all by yourself it is possible. I wouldnt recommend it. It ideally needs two people to bring it in, but being compact in a box made it easy to do so. My partner did essentially all the work, I just made sure it didnt get stuck on a step. Took all of maybe 2 minutes to get up the stairs and around our weird corner into our apartment.
PUTTING IT TOGETHER: You will see posts saying that is took them 12 minutes, 10 minutes or what ever, to put it together. For uswell for my partner that insisted on putting it together by himself. It took him a total of (I totally timed it due to seeing if the other reviews were correct) 17 minutes. Mind you he put it together wrong TWICE. It wasnt until the second time that he looked at the instructions and really you dont need to even look at the instructions unless something isnt working right. Once he figured out the right way, it took only 3 minutes of the whole 17 minutes that he took. I feel that it is pretty intuitive to put together but if you have a stubborn person around the images help. I believe that opening the box to couch could easily be less than 10 minutes with the right person.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Honestly, the pictures do not do if justice. It looks tight! In a perfect world, I would have had three movable cushions and a darker colour, but, nah this really looks great. Impressive, even.
THE FEEL: When you first sit on it, it may feel firm That is a good thing. My partner has been spending hours and hour sitting on it and he is completely find. I have sciatica and this couch is a breath of fresh air. Both of us have tested it twice (or more) with a night of sleep and it is still great. I was initially worried with the staying of cat imprints (noted in one of my pics) but they go away. I mean, obviously it isnt the best foam, but considering the abuse we have pushed on it, it is super comfy. Firm, yes, but perfect for lounging all day long.
THE SIZE: My 6 foot partner is ecstatic at the height for his legs, for it is actually comfortable for him. For me, at 55, it allow a perfect bend I dont know what else to call it, but I can sit perfectly and promote great posture, which helps my sciatica. I feel so great on this couch that even with my sciatica, I feel comfortable in crossing my legs one it and leaning to the side armchair etc; there is just so much support. Speaking of which
THE FOAM INSIDE: I included a picture with me pointing out where my cat stepped. Oh no! There is a dent!! I thought at first. I now dont really care as the foam of the couch comes back just fine. It probably isnt the best foam insides, but, again, me and my partner have spent ridiculous time on this couch ( I was super sick when it showed up so I didnt leave it for 3 days; when I wasnt there my partner has been sitting on it playing video games.) It handled him, me and my back very well So well that I actually ordered something for my bed about two weeks in of owning this couch as I really liked how comfy it was and it made me realize how bad my bed was.
It is firm when you sit I guess? But it is a GOOD firm. A comfy firm. A firm you can sit on for hours and play games without issues. It is a great sleep too. Being 55, I can stretch out and sleep. With my partner, there is still plenty of room to lie down with him at one end and be comfortable. It is really a great length.
THE CATS: I have two cats and they immediately demanded a fort, so I made one for them (the were not impressed with me taking a photo.) For the back of the couch, it is a tad thin, but both my 10 pound cat and my 16 pound cat have been able to figure out how to lie comfortably on the back of the couch behind us.
OVERALL: It isnt a colour I would like, but it is a couch that I could actually fit to get in my apartment. It was easy to put together and it is super comfortable. I love it. I really do.
My SO and I love our new couch. We are moving to Miami in a few months and are trying to get some furniture pieces ahead of time. This couch is fantastic for moving because all of the pieces fit in the base, making it very compact. We assembled and disassembled the couch (we took it out just to try) in 15 minutes! Perfect balance between firmness and comfort. I am 54 and he is 59 and it is a perfect size for both of us. Definitely a 3 person couch, which is what we were looking for.

Great price
Love it for the price
Very good for an apartment
Cozy, but on small side
Fantastic couch for a great price!

You get less from what you paid for. Sorry
Quality and comfort are not good
Came as described. Not super comfortable but worth the price.
Easy to assemble, not very comfortable but suitable for price.
