Read reviews that mention:
Hey, so you're probably thinking this couch looks like a great deal! I thought the same. I purchased this couch recently, and had it arrive A DAY earlier than what amazon was showing for expected delivery ( which is great!). It took me an hour or two max to assemble, and the instruction manual was easy enough to follow. The instructions video, which was included in the manual helped me run through the assembly more efficiently. The couch is somewhat nice to sit on, however I do have two complaints/suggestions that future buyers who plan on purchasing this couch should keep in mind.
1. The couch sits a bit too low. This is something I somewhat expected from reading the other reviews, however if you're 5'8-5'9 or above, you will have to adjust the way you sit, because planting your feet on the ground will require proper posture with how low this couch sits from the cushion, to the ground. Makes sitting feel more formal, than casual.
2. The wooden separating bars underneath the cushions, can be felt on your tailbone. There are separating wooden bars, that divide each designated cushion evenly underneath the couches. This is extremely uncomfortable. I wish they would of assembled this mechanism different, to where those sitting on this couch could sit on each cushion easily, without worrying about hurting their tailbone from sitting on the wrong designated area the manufactures intended. I suggest placing the springs, over these bars instead. For those wondering, I counted three wooden bars total to be within this unit that separates each seat.
Now with that said, let's move onto what I actually like about the couch.
1. The appearance, it's aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
2. It's comfortable enough to fall asleep on. I've managed to fall asleep on this couch twice now, since it's arrived so that's great.
3. It came with an ottoman, which is pretty neat.
4. The Price point, is appealing.
5. Easy to assemble.
6. The length of the couch is nice. It takes up plenty of space in that aspect.
Overall, I would not recommend this couch for those who are 5'8-'59 or above. If they would of made the cushions sit a bit higher, and removed those wooden bars from blocking the seating area, I would feel like this couch was the perfect fit. I would return it, but I feel like that would be more of a hassle than actually ordering the unit. So you, there! Looking to furnish your brand new house/apartment? Or maybe you're just trying to replace an old couch in your existing home; Keep looking. This couch's price point is appealing, but you're compromising for overall comfort. So ask yourself, are you into purchasing a couch that just looks good, or do you want to actually sit on it someday, and be able to lounge? I think the answer is obvious.
Edit: I replaced the legs for the couch with wooden ones, so the couch sits higher. It's better now, but still buying 12 sets of legs costed nearly an extra $100 to resolve the proper foot placement for average height males.
Update 04/10/2020: I noticed the tufting for the pillows, where the little two indents that make the pillow look stylish has started to come loose, after a little over a month and a few days. I've been moderately using this couch, so the fact that this has happened so soon is a red flag. I contacted the seller, and they are sending me two new pillows for the two pillows that have lost their tufting. I will update the review if I notice anymore changes.
Also after carefully analyzing I've realized what has also contributed to this couch being so uncomfortable. It's the backside of it. It does not offer proper shoulder/head support for the upper body. What I mean by this is, the pillows for the back, for which one can lean back on, sits higher than the actual back frame of the couch. This is not a couch that you can lean your head back comfortably on full body wise with proper, comfortable support. If you have the funds, I'd recommend investing just a little bit more money into something more well-built, and comfortable. Especially if you don't plan on putting this couch up against a wall, as a substitute for back support. Also the seats are extremely shallow, causing the person sitting to have to re-adjust constantly.
UPDATE 06/18/2020: I've decided to get rid of this couch, and just buy a brand new one off amazon from one of their stone and beam selections. I wish the best of luck to those who do choose this couch in the future.
