Our old beast of a sofa finally bit the dust and we needed a replacement fast. Most furniture outlets had a delivery window of 4/6 weeks, but I needed something in days, so I came to . I looked at many of the sofas on the site, compared reviews, and kept coming back to the Josh sofa. The price was right, so I placed the order.
THE PROS
VERY easy to assemble. One person could probably do it by themselves, but I found it was helpful to have two people
Since its a sofa/in/a/box, it fit easily through our somewhat narrow front door, up our even more narrow interior stairs, and around our sharp and narrow corner at the top.
The design is simple, clean, and elegant. Its pleasing to look at.
The back cushions are nice and plush, and the seat, while a little thin, is comfortable enough for regular use.
THE CONS
The seat depth is very narrow. Im 510, and theres a good six inches from the edge of the seat to the backs of my knees. I constantly feel like Im falling forward and try pushing myself back, but to no avail because theres no more room. This is by far the biggest con, because it takes an otherwise comfortable sofa from being a great everyday piece to being, at best, occasional seating. Its a real shame. I end up wiggling around until Im bent forward at the waist at an acute angle (due to the comfy back cushions) to keep as much of my legs supported as possible, which is not sustainable long term.
The arm height is low. From the top of the eat cushion to the top of the arm its maybe 4. This is more a product of the design and overall aesthetic of the piece, but coupled with the narrow seat depth it makes for an awkward sitting experience; especially, again, if youre tall. My elbow doesnt touch the arm unless I slouch, and when I slouch my legs hang even further over the edge than they already do.
The back is low and comes to my shoulder blades. This is fine for sitting, but if you like lounging in your seat, theres nowhere to put your head.
SUMMARY
A clean, simple piece thats a breeze to assemble, but lacks the comfort of a traditional sofa. A good piece for a guest room, dorm, or game room, but not ideal for a living room with heavy use. Overall you got what you paid for.
