Promising review: "Absolutely fantastic couch! The fabric is sooo incredibly soft! A tiny bit firm at first, but the best kind of firm. We’ve had the couch for about two weeks and you can already feel it starting to give a little more. But the firmness is necessary to keep the structure of the cushions last longer. We purchased the emerald couch and the color is absolutely stunning!!! A perfect jewel green and very true to the photos. Delivery was on time (earlier in the day even) and the men that delivered the couch were extremely helpful!" —Morgan

Promising review: "Why should you get this couch? I have never written an Amazon review, and yet upon reviewing my order, not only has it exceeded every expectation, my living room is now my favorite part of my apartment. The color is gorgeous, the fabric is so soft. It is firm however I was surprised at how comfortable I am when relaxing and working on my laptop. You can also add some blankets and it’s perfect.

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite Amazon purchases. Yes, it is a fUtOn 🙀. But it looks like an expensive midcentury couch, and is surprisingly comfy for under 400 bucks. When my children destroyed my first living room set from a furniture store in two years, I was over expensive furniture. Seriously, it looked like my couch had been in a war zone. So I took a chance on this for a fourth of the price. It looks awesome, and feels sturdy. The box looked like hell when it came, but the couch was untouched. Came together in 15 minutes. So will this last forever? No probably not. But does it look amazing? Yes, yes it does. Will I be able to domesticate my wild animal children? Only time will tell." —Ben Cline

Promising review: "I love her. The color is gorgeous, a deep emerald with a hint of forest, and the texture is a smooth velvet. It is firm, but I find it incredibly comfortable for the price. I was able to put it together by myself in about 30 minutes. 10/10" —Kasey

Promising review: "We absolutely love this sofa!! We put it in our play room and it’s the perfect size and is so comfy! The quality is very good and it was easy to put together – I did it myself in about 20 minutes. The packaging was nice, nothing was damaged and everything was covered individually. It’s very soft and the back cushions are a down material, so you sink into them. I love the wood accents on the legs, making it a little more neutral and casual than a typical velvet couch. The blue is beautiful – it’s not a navy but not a cobalt either, it’s a really nice, muted color in between. We have already had a spill and it cleaned up easily with our favorite carpet cleaner. It’s easy for my kids to get on and off of but it’s not too low to the ground to make it uncomfortable for adults, either. I can comfortably lounge on it and I am 5’11". I think it’s a great sofa, especially for the price point." —Sgibson15
