I've had this couch for about a month... It's a little darker than I expected, but I actually like the color better! It's very firm, but I think it will soften up with continual use. I love that it came with the ottoman and pillows! There are only a few things I didn't like... I don't like that one pillow is orange and the other is blue. I'd rather have both blue in color. I also didn't like the instructions to put it together. They were a little vague. I also don't like that it didn't come with some sort of connector for the two pieces, I've got wood floors and they slide apart a lot. (I'll be coming up with a fix for this myself.) Overall, I really like it!
I was looking at this for a guest room and found one for more money and they wanted over $200. shipping. Amazon had the shipping included. It arrived in 3 good size boxes shrink wrapped in plastic and on a pallet and seemed to be a challenge. It was really so easy. The ottoman cushion was stuffed into the frame and the sofa parts were in the sofa frame. The arms and sides and feet needed to be screwed together but it was lightweight enough move around. I placed the 2 large sections on the floor and placed the sides and back up to it and put all screws and washers on a tray and all pieces went together easily. After lightly screwing all sections I went back and tightened them and my husband double checked each one and finished the job. I have the navy blue sofa sectional and it is so comfortable and looks great! I am a 62 year old woman and it was easy for me to place it all together. I am so happy with this purchase small sofa
