First off, I ordered this sofa less than 3 days ago and now Im sitting on it as I write this review.
When I ordered it, I was concerned that it might cram my space as I live in a single. My intentions were to a) have a comfy place where I can lay out, nap, and watch TV that isnt my bed; b) have a place that will accommodate guests comfortably as im turning my home into a social hangout spot. The sofa is also long enough that someone under 6 could prolly get a decent night sleep if folks need to crash at my place; c) have a sofa compact enough that it doesnt eat into the floor space I use to exercise as I do lots of workouts from home. This sofa fulfilled all of those intentions. Beyond my expectations.
It takes up such a compact amount of space that im keeping the settee I had there before. I moved the settee to the end of my bed which creates more seating area for guests.
Now the only reason why I didnt give this a 5 was because assembly was a bear. It was just me and took a total of about 1h25min, about 20-30 of those minutes I was stuck on parts A and B. It was frustrating because the instructions said A slides into B. I went on YouTube to find videos and did google searches to see what I was missing, but help was not available. Then I just stopped and stared at A and B. After a few minutes of visual inspection, it dawned on me that A does NOT in fact slide into B. B slides into A. That finally worked, but not before I almost burst into tears b/c I thought I might have received a defective product needing replacement. Who has time to go thru all that?
OK so A and B are together. Now were rolling. But stop, what are these random 10 discs that dont appear on the assembly diagrams? I had moved on from the sofa to the ottoman and was almost finished it all together when I realized the discs are like reinforcers for the legs/feet. This wasnt intuitive and was not straightforward from the instructions. I had already screwed on 6 of the legs onto the main seating area and had to unscrew them all (and remove the 2 I had placed onto adjoining sections of the sofa) to correctly place those discs.
Third, theres a random piece of wood wrapped in fabric with no accompanying photo in assembly. I dont know what this thing is for. Perhaps a beam for just in case? I have no clue so its chillin underneath the sofa for now.
Finally, from the diagram it wasnt clear which direction the two back pieces connect to the base. I was trying to fit two pieces into these slots that just werent budging so I thought Once again is my product defective? It was only after I closely inspected a photo of the finished product online that I realized the back needed to be placed the opposite way.
Those assembly diagrams need an upgrade stat! If it werent for this trial and error hassle, I woulda given my experience 5 stars.

Im writing this part of my review about 2 months after first using my sofa. I love it even more. I woke up this morning to find that my cat had upchucked a thick sticky hairball with accompanying juices right on the fabric. I had a sofa cover but she managed to still upchuck onto the fabric. It was a large stain and I thought Id have to be inconvenienced by taking it to a professional cleaner. Well, I didnt. The upchuck had caked a bit by the time I got to it and ALL I NEEDED TO DO was use a paper towel to take off the thicker parts then wet the towel and remove the rest. No more stain. I was stunned and my appreciation for this product just went up tenfold.
Its a very small couch. I didnt realize how small it would be, but I like it. This couch is great for small apartments/spaces. Its comfy I just wish the pillows that go along the back do the couch were thicker. I had a hard time with step one. It took me 40 minutes to get it halfway latched. I eventually gave up and said its just me in this apartment half way is good until I can get someone to help me fix it after step one the rest was a piece of cake.
Its a great couch and you cant beat that price. I did get a random wood stick in black cloth. Not sure what its for, I have messaged the seller to ask because it was not in the instructions.
I will update in a couple weeks with how the couch is holding up.
This sofa was great buy for the money. Assembly was very straightforward and didnt take long at all (maximum 30 minutes). It is not the most sturdy couch but it is comfortable and I would assert better than other sofas at similar price points. For those under financial constraints and need to fill a small area (like a living room in a small apartment) I would highly recommend.
The sectional is pretty good. Looks good, feels good (althou, to be honest, the long cushion is tougher than the others).
Weve been watching series on it and its nice enough to sit arround for extended periods of time.
Dont know about sleeping in it, or even falling sleep in it.
The ottoman is smalish but length is enough to be confortable. im 511 and its perfect.
It has velcro undear each chushion so they do now move arround.
Does not seem like its super sturdy. Will hold together fi you are not jumping on it, but i think it will brake up if you treat it rough.
Dont have any pets so i dont know if this is a scratch magnet or if it looks like delicious dog food. No help there.
Assembly was super easy, took me about 30 mins to complete on my oown. theres not much to it and you dont need any tools to complete.
Super confortable for 2, not so much for 3. but you wont be on top of eachother.
That is all i can say for this now, im pretty happy with it so far. 300 bucks its pretty cheap.
The price is hard to beat. Assembly was a snap. Not very high quality parts though. The feet are plastic and feels a bit flimsy. Be careful moving the unit around on carpet. Lift it a little as the legs feel weak and you can hear them under stress. The back pads are decent, but the cushions are very firm. Almost too firm. I dont see prolonged use at any given time. Thankfully this was put into my theater room that we dont use often or for only short times. I wish the cushions had more give. There are some gaps where the cushions meet against the back cushions. A few throw pillows will take care of it though. Remember that this is an inexpensive mini sectional so dont expect the comfort of a expensive set.
Great value for the money, they definitely need to work on the instruction manual though. Its not hard to assemble and I figured it out on my own, but someone can probably really mess things up or skip a step. Some parts like the foot locks for the screw in feet werent even included in the manual.

Easy to assemble and comfortable to use.
Easy to assemble. The couch is comfortable. There were pillows shown in the pic but didnt get.
Fits my space perfectly - very pleased; however assembly was a pain in the ass

Great Cheap Sectional

Great deal, small size perfect for my need
I cant speak of how long it will hold up but overall very happy with this sofa.. easy to assemble and shipped fast!!! Thanks for the affordable sofa
Not quite what I expected.
The price is hard to beat. Assembly was a snap. Not very high quality parts though. The feet are plastic and feels a bit flimsy. Be careful moving the unit around on carpet. Lift it a little as the legs feel weak and you can hear them under stress. The back pads are decent, but the cushions are very firm. Almost too firm. I dont see prolonged use at any given time.

Meets the objective
Can cover a small space in your living room. Good for a small room or for kids room.
Overall great couch, very happy
