TLR: The couch came with a large rip, but was otherwise as I expected when I ordered.
My expectations were pretty well set from looking at photos and reading other reviews. The couch may be a little stiffer than I expected but I knew it would be stiff. Im hoping, as others have hoped in reviews, that the cushions soften a little bit over time.
This is a decent leather couch, definitely stiff at first but the style looks good in our room and the leather seems to be of good quality. The stitching-- a little thin but time will tell., INITIALLY the leather was dry but not bad. On first impressions we really dig the color and style of it.
Our couch came brand new in the box with a large (hand-sized) tear in the breathable fabric near the seam on the hidden back-side of the couch. Luckily the cushion will cover it-- but we will need to figure out the best way to close it so that it doesnt continue to rip more. So that was the biggest disappointment with this couch so far (day 1). Something cool about this couch is that it comes fully assembled except the feet and cushions (so fully assembled), and the bottom cushion is 1 piece and is apparently stitched onto the couch. So no adjusting.
I used a good 2 step leather cleaner and conditioner right after getting it set up. That really helped the feel of the leather and even the look-- I recommend doing this. You should clean and condition all the leather once every 6 months to keep it gucci.
Overall I think it was a little expensive to have a large tear in a spot where your weight will go, but if it were shipped without the damage I would probably recommend the couch to a friend. We dont necessarily feel like going through the return process for this rip as it is at least out of sight (behind the cushions).
Delivery service was good, called me and ended up coming to my house early since they were in the area which worked well for me. They were helpful and brought it just inside my front door for me when I asked (I have a recently broken toe at the moment). Put the couch together in moments and it was set up.
This couch exceeded my expectations! Ive only had it for less than a week, so I cant speak to its longevity, but so far it seems durable and well-made. It was very easy to put together - just twisted on the couch legs and I was done. I dont love couches that are too firm so I was worried that it wouldnt be comfortable for me, but I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is - not overly firm. Definitely able to take a good nap on both the couch part and the chaise section. The leather is soft, but doesnt seem like it will crease or get misshapen easily. The one thing I find weird is that the chaise does not attach to the couch at all - it is held in place by the cushion connecting the two pieces. However, I havent had problems with the chaise section shifting out of place. I opted to pay extra to have the couch delivered up to my apartment, which I definitely would recommend since the package was very heavy.
First, the good:
This sofa is gorgeous! I love the mid-century design. It was super easy to assemble (just screw on the legs). Its affordable for what it is. Its REAL top grain leather!
Now, the bad: Its REAL top grain leather! This means that it will scratch EXTREMELY easily. So if you have kids or pets, Id look for something else. Dont even think about sitting on this thing with keys in your pocket or even ed jeans. IT. WILL. SCRATCH.
Something to be aware of: The delivery was HORRIBLE. I scheduled it for a Sunday and it didnt arrive until Wednesday or Thursday (sorry I cant remember). But the worst part was that, 1. the delivery guys didnt even give me the courtesy of a call to let me know what was going on. just updated the delivery window without notification or explanation. And, 2. s local delivery unit is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to reach via their labyrinthian phone menu. I spent hours (not an exaggeration) on the phone getting transferred from department to department over the course of the next few days trying to figure out what was going on with my delivery. See... Im a real dude, so you know... I work? Which is why I scheduled the original delivery for Sunday. Nobody seemed to care about this fact and it was virtually impossible to get them to accommodate me with a time for delivery after the first window was so rudely ignored. Not only that, but I live in a small apartment so I had to get rid of my old couch first. I had it all timed perfectly. Old couch out on Saturday, new couch in on Sunday. Except thats not how it happened and I had nothing to sit on in my living room for days after. Anyway, Im bitter about it. The only positive was that when the delivery guys actually DID show up, they were very professional and courteous.
In summary: Great couch, be careful of scratching, good luck with Delivery services.
I bought the sofa and this chair and am very happy. It was easy to put together and the furniture is well made. Also, both pieces are very comfortable.
I had my eye on this for a while. I was concerned about the quality but we finally snagged one in otter grey. We are really happy with the sofa. I subtracted a star because the legs are not the best quality and one of them unscrewed from the hanger bolt which was a quick fix with epoxy. Also the shade of grey is very weird. Its a little too dark and not cool-toned enough to match anything. The material is soft but I wouldnt say its luxurious. We are hoping to get 4 years out of it. I would definitely repurchase but get the light grey version. Its just right for a small apartment.
I bought this couch because I was looking for a comfortable midrange couch that was stylish (specifically mid century modern) and high enough quality to last a few years. The less expensive couches that run like $300 felt too cheap and futon-esq, and I thought this would hit a nice balance without going over the $700 mark. I was worried because some reviews are quite negative, but if you look at the date, most of those are older - so I think must have made some improvements.
I mostly got the couch I wanted. I love the look - the green is definitely the right shade of off-emerald (if youre crazy like me and deeply worried about the color, Id say its Pantene shade PMS 350). Its not tacky but still stands out. I like the hardness of it - its firm but I can still enjoy lying on it a lot. It feels quite sturdy. Its well designed and easy to clean. Assembling it was literally screwing in the legs which took <2 mins.
A lot of people I trust have said wonderful things about the look of this couch. My one complaint is that it photographs as higher quality velvet than it looks and feels in person. Im worried it will show wear over time and look matted. Maybe its more chenille than velvet?
I think I am still happy I bought it, but if you have kids, a dog, or a messy SO, I might think twice about it.
Also - lost the couch the first time and I had to talk to several different people (a third party logistics company, customer support, etc) to solve it. But they gave me a 15% discount for the trouble and I still got it within 2 weeks so Ill let it slide.
Great for a small nyc apartment where space is limited. Cozy and comfy but want to post a few things to note for others buying this...
Throw Pillows shown in image do not come with this loveseat. Back seat cushions are loose and not attached so sometimes when u get up from sitting the back support falls down and you see the base of sofa, looks a little cheap. The dark Gray color is received is more of taupe, which could be a good thing for neutral tone rooms. It plays well with beige items as well as grays. Loveseat is also much lower than expected. Would be great if it was a few inches higher.

Best sofa for the money
We love the quality, style and value of this sofa. The longer length makes it perfect for someone 63 to lay on it.
Impressed with packaging
So far so good on the furniture. Well know in a few years how we really think about it. For now, its great.

Very nice quality and style for the price

Well constructed and very stylish, with some caveats

Solid mid century sofa
Good mid century style. Low back so be sure to measure your other pieces. I use this for staging and it is firm.
