Ill preface this by saying the wrong color sofa was sent to me. I dont know how someone mistakes the one-inch lettering on the side of the box that says RYE BROWN for MARZIPAN, but I appreciate not really doing too much about the mistake except forcing me to wait almost a week to get it swapped out or offering a scant refund that doesnt even cover the cost of the couch slip I just ordered to turn this bad boy back to the color I intended it to be. Heres to you, prime membership.
Bottom line is, if youre looking for a $300 sofa, this is a great $300 sofa. Especially if your in laws tend to show up unannounced or your single friends like to drink their dating woes away at your place, this couch is PERFECT at encouraging them to not stay as long.
It is quite firm-- so firm, in fact, you need to tell your kids to jump on it to loosen it up a bit (or if you dont have kids, ask the neighbors). This isnt a couch you can kerplunk into and feel like youre morphing into a pillow of awesomeness; this is a couch you hog and lay across at an angle, which is significantly more comfortable than sitting upright. It likely just needs a lot of breaking in (or different cushions, which wouldnt be a bad idea and cheaper fix). But this is indeed a matter of personal preference-- my sleep number bed would be in the negative digits if it came with the option, Im a fan of all things soft and squishy.
It is, however, comfortable enough and more aesthically pleasing than my ex. It is also VERY easy to put together-- Im on my third beer and had no issue putting it together by myself. Sans awkwardly moving such a large box into the house and wondering if I should leave the UPS guy a tip, theres nothing complicated about this piece of furniture.
Docked a star because again, its pretty firm --and somebody doesnt know how to read the side of a box-- by as far as quality, not bad at all. So go give your in-laws something else to judge you over and purchase this couch if youre looking for something inexpensive but durable and nice looking.
So easy a caveman...
