I had this couch for three years. It was about $300 when we bought it, it was our first piece of new furniture, and we were living in a much smaller house than the one that is pictured in this review. It replaced a too-big sectional that we found on the side of the road a couple years prior, and it was perfect for that space (a post-college home with a couple of roommates who were all invested in making the house look cool and function well).
ASSEMBLY:
Very easy to put together. Parts came in the small zippered storage compartments under the couch. You can also tighten pieces throughout the years through those zippered storage compartments.
COMFORT:
Ive seen others say this isnt the comfiest couch. It is firm, and sleeping on it isnt like sleeping on a mattress, but its comfier than many couch beds or futons Ive slept on. Its awkward to sit in the middle as the couch dips in right there. It was only around year 3 that I started feeling any springs under the cushions. It was pretty comfy for at least 2.5 years.
PRICE:
Like I said, it was $300 when we got it. It looked great and worked well for 3 years. Thats $100 a year or $8 a month for something we and our friends used constantly. I think it was a good deal.
We got a new couch recently because our cats have torn this one to shreds, its got a red wine stain, and you can start to feel a spring under one of the cushions. But only one of those things is the fault of the couch. Overall Id say its a great piece of starter furniture if youre trying to buy new on a budget.
Compact, cute, and comfortable enough
