Carolyn Sofa with Contrast Piping

Just received this couch in the mail and here are my topline comments: Pros - unique styling, great size, nice details, amazing price. Cons - the seats feel like they are stuffed with wood. Seriously, no give at all. Our plans are to get them re-stuffed in order to make it "sitable". The fabric is cheap and due to packaging, it comes in with funny contrasts where the fabric has been under pressure which leads to an uneven finish. The biggest con for me: the color. It looks like a warm, true chocolate brown with ivory piping in the photos, but it is no where near that in person. The color is closer to an ash grey/light brown and the piping has a lot of yellow in it - almost vanilla-like. Because of the fabric and off-color, it tends to be "silvery" light brown with yellow-ish piping. That was the most disappointing part. At the end of the day: you get what you pay for. Note: only purchase this couch if you are putting it up against a wall, the back is unfinished and it is just fabirc that velcro's shut. Also, it is ridiculuosly uncomfortable, so would be better as just a staging piece, not an everyday couch. If I could return it without the ridiculous fees, I would.

We had this sofa for less than a month when one of the front legs gave way. When my husband fixed it, he discovered what incredibly cheap materials it was made from. Basically the next step up from cardboard! It looks pretty on the outside, but don't waste your money on this thing as it is an extremely poor value and the workmanship is just plain awful!

This is a very nice looking couch, nice neutral color, not too hard to put together, overall a pretty good value, but I wish I'd seen all the reviews of how hard the cushions are before I bought it. It truly is HARD! Firmest couch I think I've ever sat on. My husband thinks it's wonderful, as it's for our formal living room and therefore won't look all squished and droppy any time soon. But, we do use the room quite frequently, and it's not really all that comfortable for lounging. I'd probably buy it again anyway if I had it to do over since I love the way it looks so much and the price was so great.

First of all - I did not notice anywhere that it stated assembly was required. I expected to have to screw in legs but not put the whole thing togther. I expected it to be brought by freight and be a solid sofa. It is nice but very hard...and I don't think it will hold up well with kids being a home assembly type. It also was difficult to put together. All and all had I known all that I would not have bought it.
