After a decade with an Ikea couch, I realized it was time to put the old girl out to pasture. Knowing I was looking for a 60s-70s-leaning, just-after-midcentury sectional in muted earthtones or something of the like—and more importantly, priced for those on a budget—I decided to take the chance on this sofa. And for the first time buying a couch without trying it out in person, I'm actually really happy with the results.

First thing's first: It arrives in one box. One 160-ish-pound box. That was an enthralling schlep, bringing it up three flights of stairs end over end. Thankfully, if you live in a walk-up, that initial lift will be the worst part of the whole experience—you'll find a box full of organized components labeled by letter, accompanied by instructions that require little-to-no text.

In short, assembly was kind of a breeze, though one caveat: the sofa legs included in my box had pre-drilled *slots* rather than circular holes, so the included bolts don't feel as secure as they should be. I'm guessing they may be legs used for different furniture, some of which include different hardware for attachment. But barring that one (likely packing/assembly) hiccup, I had a couch assembled in roughly a half hour.

Quality-wise? Not bad, especially for the price! I mentioned the legs and their seeming ill-suited, if minor-in-scale, attaching hardware—the only other potential weak point in the furniture seems to be the single bolt-and-wingnut point connecting the two sections of said sectional. At one point, I was assembling the couch upside down, and had to flip it over as one piece to continue—that single bolt/wingnut holding the two sections together felt inadequate as the pieces of the couch began to wiggle against one another. But, once righted, the couch assembly concluded and any concerns over sturdiness quickly subsided. It's a solid couch, and a comfortable one, to boot.

Appearance-wise, it matches the photos, even if the legs are painted an utterly garish yellow gold. (Just throwing this out there, but a couch from this era would look better with simple tapered wood legs—maybe maple finish for some upholstery colors, walnut finish for others, just saying.) Along with the appearance, it truly is a comfy sit—initially a touch firm, but I imagine that'll ease with use.

So, barring, what? A concerningly weak bolt/wingnut connecting sections—a nonexistent problem unless your feng shui is indecisive and the couch gets moved around on the daily—and possibly errant specs on the legs? The experience with this couch so far, from assembly to first impressions in aesthetics and strength alike, has been a great one. Beyond my wish for wood legs, it'd be great to be able to buy backup upholstery fabric covers for the parts wherein its easy to remove/wash those covers, but they're just a few wants: this couch has addressed all my needs for a comfy living space.

The seller reached out before delivery and it was appreciated. I did need 2 people to put it together and it took a bit longer than 20 minutes (about 60). We are not the greatest when assembling things but got it done. The video here is very helpful. Hence the 4 stars on the assembly.

The couch is firm and I needed to put some throw pillows behind the back cushions to be comfortable hence the 3 stars on comfort. The price is very good to what I received and I am happy with it hence to overall and value ratings of 5 stars.

Update: We put bumper guards on the metal legs that support the couch as we are toe hitters on anything with an angle. Just an head up for anyone with children or adults who tend to stub toes.

I love it!!! It’s very sturdy. I took one of the best naps on it last night. For my small apartment, I feel like it’s a good size and can accommodate 3 people (or more if all are sitting up). I built it alone which means it’s very easy to assemble. I think the most difficult thing to carry was the box, but once I got all the pieces out, the pieces were manageable. I have a lot of light in my living room, and it showcases the beauty of this couch wonderfully. I highly recommend!! 1000/10

We really like this couch. It arrived quickly and is cute and comfortable. Unfortunately, the armrests are attached with a zipper, and one of them broke while we were trying to attach it. We’ve left a message with the seller to see if we can get a replacement sent. If we can, I will update my review.

Edit 10/30/23: Seller sent a new cushion cover for the armrest, so the couch is now complete. Overall a good purchase, super cute and fairly comfortable, but it turns out it is too small for our space. We will be keeping it and using it in a different space. Thank you to the seller for fixing our issue so quickly!

Extremely sturdy, looks great, very soft. Perfect for my small space. My team assembled it while I had COVID and I immediately passed out on it. I previously ordered a bigger sectional from Wayfair for over 1000 that was very cheaply made and came defective. I was expecting similar for the price point, but was pleasantly surprised. The only downside is that one of the cushions came with a stain

A little stiff but overall comfy! Was super easy to put together, I did it myself and didn’t take too long. The material looks and feels great.

This couch is amazing! Very comfortable and assembly was a breeze.

The couch takes 2 hours to assemble, the instructions are not as stated. And was more difficult than it should have been but it turned out well. I did need to contact the seller for support because I had issues attaching the armrests. The seller was quick to respond and helpful with instructions. The couch is cute and serves its purpose.
