I bought this because it was a great price for a sofa that is multifunctional (is also a sleeper sofa) and has a transitional style that can work most anywhere because it is clean classic. It looks polished and the beige color works as a great neutral. This sofa was easy to put together. The box was a bit scuffed up but the sofa itself was in good condition (apart from a small blackish grey smudge on one of the arms that seemed to have been in contact with the dirty box or something because it wasnt completely covered). Anyhow, the smudge looks to be like more of a shadow and I can live with it. The sofa is a bit firm but has seemed to soften ever so slightly as I have been trying to sit on different areas everytime I sit down. You do have to smooth the fabric when you stand up because it looks a little rumpled. But its fine. I actually have a cover on mine since I have cats.I bought a beige one that looks pretty nice. I love the wooden legs and baseit adds a nice upscale touch and seems sturdy.
I didnt plan on writing a review until last night when something occurred that shocked me and then made me mad sad. I was sitting watching tv with my right elbow on the right arm of the sofa. I had a throw pillow behind me, which I wanted to adjust so I sort of leaned in on my elbow to transfer my weight forward a little so that I could prop the pillow up. Right as I leaned on my elbow (and not so very hard even), something in the arm cracked and my elbow sunk into a hole!! It felt and sounded as if I had cracked a hole in a very thin piece of wood plank or MDF fiber or something.it broke extremely easily!! And while doing nothing more then leaning forward a bit and placing my elbow there!! I am a 59 140lb femalesmall boned and didnt have to do much to break that! Now I have a divet/hole is my sofa arm! Luckily the overlying fabric seems to cover it fine but if you run your hand along the arm you can feel that the thin layer of foam has been displaced and there is a sunken section or pocket!( I was so shocked and disappointed that this happened because I really love my little sofa and was hoping that it would be a well/priced, good/looking little workhorse of a sofa, but now I see that I will have to be VERY careful when using it or LEANING on any part?! You would probably NOT want this if you have any kids. Anyway, I dont quite know what to do. I did purchase the warranty for damage. Not sure what they would do for something like this. Im just sad to realize that this sofa is so fragile because its not even like Im rough or anything and this happened. It felt like a thin CRACKER broke under my elbow! Pretty disappointing purchase for the price.
Cute but Cheap
