I was searching for a couch that I could also use as a movie pit, guest bed, and stretch out on when bingeing Netflix. I also wanted something that could fit a good number of people should I decide to entertain, this couch does all of these things.
For context I'm a bit guy 300lbs and 6'3, my partner is also tall at 5'10 we can both fit comfortably on this couch stretched out or laying down. I love the ease with which I can change the configuration and putting it together was as easy as screwing on the legs and attaching the fasteners to the chair backs and sides.
Here are the basics:
1. You are ordering ottomans. Just get that through your head this is not a traditional all inclusive piece it's (in my case) 7 ottomans with back pieces, arm rests and pillows. All of which can be detached and adjusted.
2. It comes in as many boxes. They're not heavy but be prepared for that many packages. That being said if you can't pick up the boxes then there's a good chance moving the ottoman will be a problem for you.
3. Set up is extremely easy. I did it with one other person and from unbox to box breakdown had the couch up in an hour.
4. It's firm. I love a firm couch because it gives it some place to go with wear and tear but if you're not into that this couch isn't for you. Also it's not overly plush so if you sit between two cushions you'll feel the wood. I slept on it the first night in my apartment while waiting on my bed to arrive and I slept like a baby.
5. You'll feel some give when you lean on the backs and side rests. The fasteners are heavy duty but also leaves something to be desired by way of sturdiness.
6. My only worry is that the cushions will wear out within a year. But I think you can presence it by routinely rotating the cushions. We'll see.
All in all I have no regrets and I'm happy I didn't listen to other reviews that said it was too small, that big guys looked like giants when sitting on it, or that is wasn't a good quality. For comparable modular sectionals on or Wayfair I think this one holds it's own. I'd buy it again and I appreciate the space to expand the sectional later by buying additional pieces.
But, I am under no illusions that this couch is a long term purchase. I plan to be where I am for the next 3 years and would be highly surprised if it moved with me. So we shall see!
No Regrets, But Time Will Tell
