I was skeptical ordering a couch online, but when my old couch didn’t fit into our new apartment—I took a chance. In all honesty, this couch has exceeded my expectations. We’ve had it for about 3 weeks now. Some details:

The box would be too heavy for me alone, but my boyfriend and I were able to carry it up our narrow stairway with no problems.

The set up was simple. It took 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish with 2 people working on it.

The green/grey color is nice and mellow. True to the pictures. The fabric has also proven to be durable so far, with my 70lb dog jumping on and off the couch. On that note, the frame is sturdy as well.

As far as comfort, it’s very decent— much better than some of the thrift store couches I’ve owned. It’s not as comfortable as a $2000 couch but I would imagine it’s close to the best you can get in the price range. It doesn’t sink or sag, and has decent back support. I’m 5’6 and my boyfriend is 6’2 and we both like that the couch is a bit higher up and has wide cushions.

So far, I’m pleased with my purchase. It’s a great option if you have limited space or don’t want to deal with transporting a heavy, pricey couch from a furniture store.

It's pretty amazing that you can order a sofa shipped to your door in a reasonably sized box. Zinus did a clever job with packaging, and assembly was not difficult at all (under 30 minutes).

The fabric is appropriate for the price point. It's a hatch-like pattern that's not the most luxurious but not bad either. It remains to be seen how durable it will be, but so far so good.

A couple of issues. First, it's not the most comfortable for my body type (5' 10", 175lbs). I found support to be good, but the couch is too high for me to sit comfortably. It's also a pretty small sofa at under 80" in width.

Second, a problem with the way the sofa is assembled is that the middle part slides into the sides via brackets and the force of gravity is supposed to keep everything together. There were times when I got up or bumped into the sofa where tracks slid up creating a loud sliding noise. It never came undone, but it did cause me to be a bit more careful around it than I otherwise would be.

This is a good sofa for what it is, though I wish it was a touch lower for better sitting position. If you're someone with longer legs, then this may work better for you.

I've seen some reviews where people say 'Fifteen minutes to assemble? Try fifteen hours!' (Paraphrasing of course) This couch has a total of 9 pieces (if you count the screw on feet as four of the pieces) and has instructions that I believe had 6 steps. I'm recovering from pneumonia and I assembled two of these in under 30 minutes by myself.

I gave it 4 stars for comfort because I'm 5'8" and I can't quite stretch out on it AND when seated upright, the arms are about 2 inches too low so if I want to rest my forearm on it I feel like I have to lean a bit. On the other hand, it opened up a ton of space in my tiny living room.

** One thing that I'm concerned could be a problem down the line is that there are "two" seat cushions that are not removeable. While technically being two cushions, they're sewn together in the middle. This is going to be a stress point when two people are sitting on this couch at the same time (incidentally, this couch is comfortable for 3 skinny people or 2 larger people.) I can see that stitching pulling loose over time. I'm glad I got the 5 year furniture protection plan. **

If you're like me and have spent the last few days staring at small sofas on Amazon until they blur into a molten blob of cheap polyester... get this one.

I was stuck trying to make a decision for almost a week and finally got this one because the grey color is on sale for around 200$, and it seemed to be similar to other sofas I had stared at that cost 300-400

Even at closer to $400 I don't know how much better you can do. Let's go over the main issues for these cheap sofas:

- Size:

It's a real sized loveseat. You won't get it and feel like you got tricked into buying a dollhouse accessory.
It fits me, a 5'11" 200lbs+ guy comfortably, on just one half of the seat. Another person my size could sit next to me, and we wouldn't even be touching.

And it's space efficient. It has that much space for sitting but still for my NYC shoebox of an apartment. The measurements they list are exactly on point, and there's no pointless oversized scroll shaped arm wasting space.

- Cushion Material:

Long term is always the gamble, but right now it's perfect. Firm enough to not feel like I'm sinking, soft enough to be comfortable. Good bounce to it.

If sit really weird, I can just barely feel the harder bench part of the seat under my thigh... but it's not uncomfortable and I'm a bigger guy, most people would probably not feel it (and I had to really sit weird

- Surface Material

Smooth enough. I don't know what a good sofa surface is supposed to be, but I like it. Not scratchy.

Cushions have a slight smell if you put your nose in them, so don't put your nose in them. (I also took them out of their vacuum sealed bag 20 minutes ago so, so there's no way they already aired out)

The "cheapest" looking part of the sofa is the wrinkles where the cushion pillow things meet the arms. It doesn't look bad, but if you want a more visually pleasing couch, order 18x18 throw pillows and covers.

- Assembly:

Some of these sofas seem to want you to play the role of a factory assembly line putting together tiny pieces...

This one has like 6 pieces. Of which two of them are the pillow cushions, and the rest slide together.

It barely takes 5 minutes to do that, and I was doing it alone.

Protip if you're doing it alone: Put the large middle section on the ground with the front facing down. Then slide both arms on, and tilt the whole thing back... and you're pretty much done

- Weight Capacity

When you put it together, you realize they really thought it through, all the weight you apply forces the pieces closer together.

End result is (literally) 0 wobble, and more importantly, it won't undo itself over time

- Color:

It's salt and pepper grey.

I came close to shelling out the extra 200$ for the pear colored one before coming to my senses, and I'm glad I did. This color matches a lot of other colors, the pear one probably would not look as good in this room

Aaaaand that's it.

Now I literally just put it together, and usually people leave glowing reviews then come back with 10 updates about how their first child was taken in exchange for a refund...

But that being said, I've had good experiences with Zinus furniture, and I genuinely think this is an insane deal at <300$ and still good if you end up paying a little more

It's so easy to set up, no need for tools and can be fit into tiny pathways during delivery! I will review again after few months if the quality stays the same. For now, 10/10!

The best sofa, classy design ,sturdy framework easy to assemble .Its so comfortable and east to move.

---

This was easy to assemble, good quality for the price. The back cushions are a bit thin but maintain comfort. This is a great product for small spaces

---

Not value for money

Took me 30 minutes to assemble by myself. Very comfy so far. Hopefully it stands the test of time.
