We were looking for a sofa bed we could put in a hard-to-reach upstairs room, and knew we couldnt get a real sofa up there. This looked like a much easier alternative. Heres what we discovered:
Pros:
Service was outstanding. Our couch was shipped just a few hours after we placed the order, and arrived in about 3 days.
Couch is VERY easy to transport. It came in two 50-pound boxes, each about half the size of a twin mattress.
Couch looks nice. Fabric looks good, and color is true to picture in listing. Seams are well done.
Assembly is easy. Watch video in listing. It really is as easy as shown.
Price is right. This was less expensive than things I found locally that were not nearly as nice.
Cons:
This is NOT comfortable. Seat is very hard and back is low. (Seat looks as deep as a typical sofa cushion, but most that depth is empty space where the arm comes stored.)
Fabric was covered with lint from our carpet when we flipped it over. I dont think lintiness will be an issue for us, but if I had pets that shed Id worry about hair sticking to the fabric.
The couch is rather low (both legs and back). Not as bad as many futons, but it looks a LITTLE shrimpy.
Im worried about durability. The 2 sections are just held together with 2 heavy-duty plastic connectors. (Legs are also plastic, but they DO look like wood.)
Verdict: If you need something for a hard-to-reach room, especially one you will look at more often than use, this is an affordable option. I doubt you can find something that looks nicer at this price point. But if you are looking for a sofa your family will be using regularly, save up for something better.
Looks nice, but uncomfortable.
