Since we were going to be at home for the indefinite future, I decided to get a couch. Since we move quite a bit, I didnt want to spend a ton of money. But I also wanted something decent. Had actually been considering this couch for a year, but I guess was never home enough to finish the purchase.
I (not in great shape or particularly strong) put it together on my own, I didnt time it. But I put some records on and did it. I botched something up at one point, had to unscrew and re-screw but it was my fault for not paying close enough attention. I love putting furniture together, but even if you dont, Id judge this as pretty easy. A little time-consuming but hello, its a whole couch and a sectional no less. Boxes were enormous and heavy. Again, of course. It arrived earlier than anticipated, so I guess just a heads up depending on your living circumstances. I thankfully have a covered porch so these were protected from the rain for hours on the surprise day they came.
We have had it now for two months I think, and still love it. It has two teens, one adult, and a dog on at any given time early 24 hours a day. It does get softer over time. I am wondering if the cushions will lose some of the oomph, if they do, Ill put some foam underneath them and dont consider it an issue. For the price, it looks amazing and it comfy. We threw a bunch of throw pillows, two cozy blankets, and a small tapestry on the ottoman (aka where the dog mostly sits). I did have to clean up dog puke (ugh), and it came out with a dog mess upholstery cleaner so Im happy about that too.
All in all, for the price, Im not sure you can do better. Even if down the road I had to make or replace new cushions (or leave it when I move), its worth it. I have to say the past 5 months of being at home is way better having a comfy ( nice looking) couch in the living room. It changed our living space entirely.
Better than I expected (like WAY better)
