Love it. It came in a relatively small box. To put it together, you basically use the two large screws that come with it and put the back parts on. Took me literally 10 minutes. And when its put together, its a regular normal couch. Im glad my couch wont be impossible to move now!
Wow! Better than expected. Follow the instructions, take your time, think with common sense and about an hour later you have a good looking loveseat for a tight space. No problem from me giving five stars and again thanks to Prime, two days from order date it was waiting at the front door.
I ordered this sofa on July 4th and it arrived today, Tuesday July 7th, at 4:30. By 5:30, I was sitting on it. The box was slightly larger than I expected and instead of trying to wedge it through my door, I opened the box and brought the pieces in individually. Not a big deal. I read the directions first, something I usually dont do. Im one of those who needs directions?! people but decided that for this, reading the directions might be a good thing to do. I had also read a lot of the reviews before I purchased this, and watched the video; all very helpful. Putting it together was a breeze. The directions are very clear, and all of the pieces fit together perfectly. Some of the reviews mentioned concerns about taking the vacuum packed cushions out of the plastic before you have them inside the covers. I started to do as suggested and place the cushions, still in the package, into the covers before I unsealed the vacuum packed package. But, this process seemed more difficult to me and so I decided to risk it and open the package and then try to stuff the cushions into the covers. They went in very easily, much more easily than I anticipated. My only concern (thus, the 4 stars) is that the back cushions seem very puffy at this point and make the seat area seem short. Im hoping they flatten a bit over time. Other than that, for the price and quality you cant do better. This is an excellent sofa.
We wondered if a couch in a box was a practical -- or even doable -- idea. After no small amount of trepidation, we cast our lot with .
Why the hesitancy? We live in the Los Angeles area but are refurbishing a summer home on an island 15 miles off the Maine coast. To say that has proven a lifesaver would be the height of understatement...whatever we order, it arrives quickly by ferry in top-notch condition. We have ordered items big and small; all have arrived in great shape. We will soon buy stock in UPS and Fed Ex.
To the point: The couch took 20 minutes to assemble; its attractive and tasteful. You will not regret this purchase! BTW, yes, there is an initial odor -- which fades quickly.
Great product for a small/midsize apartment/studio. Only takes 30-45 minutes to assemble. This is not a couch that you buy for a large family, multiple pets, etc., but if you live alone or with a small family in a small home, this is perfect.
A couch in a box; who would have ever dreamed? Assembly is easy. Everything comes sealed inside the couch. It took us maybe an hour to get from emptying the box to sitting on the couch. You will need at least one person to help you, so reserve a friend. My only critique is that the couch itself is rather low. Im short, so I think its great, but some of my taller friends have said they feel awkward. Anyway, if youre looking for a couch that wont break the bank, you should consider this one.
Ive been quite impressed by this couch. The packaging was ingenious and assembly took just a few minutes and the result is a good-looking couch at a bargain price. My only quibble is the depth of the cushions, since Im on the tall side, but I should have paid closer attention to the specs. Still, I would buy it again.
Impressive engineering. Like everyone says the packaging is really well thought out. For those that think theyre missing parts, dont forget a lot of the parts are hidden in the base of the couch.
For the price, the quality seems really solid. No tools and in a leisurely 60-90 minutes I put it together by myself. The vacuum sealed cusions once alloweed to expand are a little tricky to get in the zippered covers, but not a big deal.
Im just under 62 and while I could never lay straight out across it, I have had no problems sleeping on it for hours at a time. And watching movies its very comfortable. Comfort was a huge reason I took a chance on this couh. While there may be cooler looking couches, I have zero regrets.

Real couch, in a box
Love it. It came in a relatively small box. To put it together, you basically use the two large screws that come with it and put the back parts on. Took me literally 10 minutes. And when its put together, its a regular normal couch. Im glad my couch wont be impossible to move now!
Just an awesome experience.

The couch looks great. This is the first time we have ordered furniture online, and it has more than met our expectations. We are very pleased.
but seems durable and comfortable.
A little smaller than I expected, but seems durable and comfortable.
Our island home feels chic!

Sits a Little Low, but Great Buy
