When the delivery people arrived to drop off the couch, I asked if they wouldnt mind helping me carry this beast up my stairs (which are very narrow and turn a sharp corner halfway up). They kindly agreed to take a look to see if it was possible. It definitely wasnt, and they suggested I open the box outside and take the pieces up one by one. After they left, I found myself only able to carry up some of the pieces myself and got some other help from friends. Just be sure to have another person there to help you with the transport and assembly process.
After setting up this couch and sending a picture to my mom, she commented on how this ugly therapy couch is totally my style. And Im completely okay with that. The color (Moss) is everything I was hoping it to be. Not too yellow, and also not too green. I truly do love the color. The material is strong, and yet soft. It did not tear easily while hauling it up a flight of stairs with a narrow corner hallway, which is really something.
When hauling it up the stairway, we had to remove an arm of the couch (it came pre-assembled with the arms attached) but that was easily done and it was easy to put back together. However, one of the wheels that are needed to pull out the base of the futon popped out during the haul. It was a bit of a struggle to figure out a way to put it back into the sliding mechanism, but it was possible. Other than these two things, the couch has been sturdy with no signs of wear or tear.
With that said, I have only had this couch for two days. Both days I have slept on it, and its been comfortable. Do not expect a plushy couch, this one is definitely on the firmer side. My mother thinks its too firm, but I think its comfortable so its really just about your preference. Theres plenty of space for one person, even without pulling out the base. Fitting two people with the futon pulled out is possible, but it may be more comfortable with average-sized persons. In its normal position, the couch has plenty of room for me to sit cross-legged (which is awesome since most couches dont typically afford that for my wide thighs, hips, etc. without my feet slipping off the edge). The back cushions and side pillows are also very comfortable.
When I asked my mother how much she thought I spent on the couch, her guess of $400 had me feeling quite embarrassed. I personally do not think the couch is worth so little, but I am not sure that it is worth the $1600 I spent. With that said as well, I have no regrets (yet). It looks amazing in my living room, its comfortable for me, and I will keep an eye on how the cushions hold up over the next few months.
Overpriced, but with no regrets
