This Chesterfield Loveseat is a beautiful brilliant royal blue velvet and the Mrs. and I agreed that this piece would not look out of place at the palace at Versailles. The legs have a stylish curvature - in short, it doesnt look like a sofa that comes in a box and must then be assembled.
The assembly isnt TOO bad, but for some parts is prohibitively difficult without 2 people - one, for example, to hold the back in place while its being bolted by another person to the seat. Then there is the matter of the comfort of the loveseat as, you know, an actual seat. After triumphantly completing the assembly I sat on it.
Whats the matter? the Mrs. asked in response to the face I made. Not comfortable?
Not really, I said. It feels like a padded brick. (The seat is completely flat with no contour at all, although it IS covered with the tufted velvet which is upholstered over the foam padding.)
The Mrs. came over and sat down also.
It feels like a padded brick, she agreed.
So - high points for looks, but not really comfortable enough to actually use as a seat.
Great looks... not a soft seat
