The fabric is soft to the touch and I LOVE that the covers can come off to be washed (so they can stay soft) and theyre not so tight that the seams are stretched or the idea of taking them off and on seems risky. There is velcro to help the various cushions stay in place.
I received it in two boxes simultaneously, and I pulled everything out and let the cushions relax and pouf out for a few days before assembling.
I see in the reviews that one person attached the back such that it pushed you forward when you sat. Sorry, not to be mean, but//youd have to try really hard to get that wrong. You dont even need instructions to assemble it. Just pay attention and lay things out logically before you start. The feet screw in easy/pleasy. You have to take your time and carefully line up the metal tabs so that they slide into the sleeves correctly, for the back support. Take your time! Dont panic, dont force it, and carefully ensure you have the metal tabs aimed correctly into the slots. This is the only part thats slightly challenging since the slot is not visible (under the black fabric). Once you do and they are in the groove correctly keep slowly pushing down and you will hear them snap into place. No need to mess with bolts and nuts. And this type assembly felt solid and permanent.
If you take your time and are careful every step of the assembly, the couch wont be lop/sided as some have mentioned. It wont push you forward and, it will feel solid and look nice.
I would say this is NOT the couch for large (tall, or heavy) folks. Im heavy at 140lbs and my son is about 125. Were both in the 55 to 5 9 range.
For a couch that comes to you in the mail, that costs under 400.00//this is great.
comfortable, small, easy to assemble
