My hubby and I tend to redecorate every 3-5 years. So, we don't like to spend a lot of money on furniture when we just end up giving it away when we hit a new decorating phase. Thought this sofa looked cute online. Ordered it... and it basically meets expectations! It was packaged well; contained all needed pieces/hardware; and instructions were pretty clear. The only thing that was a tad bit disappointing is the color. The Overstock ad said "cream color" but the sofa we received was taupe (or light brownish/tan). We debated returning it...but decided that the taupe color actually matched our living room. My hubby put this together single-handedly in about 1 hour. All in all - pretty easy stuff. The sofa, once assembled, looks virtually identical to the picture shown. It's a wee bit smaller in real life but it's fine. I would not recommend for someone trying to fill a large room. In terms of comfort, I really like it. I like a more firm sofa that I don't have to struggle to get out of! This sofa has firm cushions but that are comfortable. The back of the sofa is firm, too, but comfortable. The sofa also seems very sturdy. Our kids jumped on it right after being assembled and it was fine! I don't think anyone will notice that this is an RTA (ready to assemble) sofa when they walk in our living room but I also don't think anyone will think we paid $1500 or $2000 for it! All in all, I recommend this to frugal apartment or townhouse dwellers that need a stylish sofa that is comfortable, easy to assemble, and reasonably priced.

I bought this couch for the sitting area in our kitchen. It wasn't noted in the description that it came disassembled, but it shipped in 3 boxes and I put it together myself. Some of the screw holes weren't exactly lined up so it made it a little challenging at times. If I had to choose between easy and hard though, I'd say it was easy to assemble. It looks really nice and I'm happy with the purchase! I would not recommend buying this couch to be the "main" couch in your house, i.e. where you watch TV, nap, etc. It's very firm and great for entertaining purposes, so keep that in mind. The only negative thing regarding shipping is that the little bags of silica broke open during shipment so they went everywhere! But that has nothing to do with the product itself.

We are very happy with this couch. We weren't sure how nice the couch would be given the inexpensive price, but we are very happy with it. We wanted a couch in our living room, but we didn't want to spend a lot since we won't use it everyday and we have young kids who may destroy it. It looks great, is pretty comfortable and has taken the beating from our kids too. The assembly was a little challenging but no longer than an hour and two people needed (although doing it alone is certainly possible).

Like other reviewers noted, this is a VERY firm sofa, which I actually prefer. I'm on the short side (5'4"), so always challenged to find furniture that lets me touch my feet to the floor, but this fits me perfectly. This was very easy to put together by myself (30 minutes), and although the separate pieces appear light (much lighter than the 40 year old couch I got rid of), the construction seemed sturdy while putting it together, so I'm expecting a long life for the type of wear it will get (kids will not be jumping on it). I was looking for a classic looking replacement sofa, that wasn't too expensive and got very high ratings. I found everything I was looking for in this sofa. Could not be happier!

This is a great looking and comfortable - if you like firm - sofa for the money. I put it together by myself in about an hour. Directions were easy to follow, all the pieces and screws were there. It looks quite nice, but I can't speak to how well it will hold up as I've only had it a few months and it is in the living room so it doesn't get daily use.

I love this couch. The price is wonderful compared to a similar style in the furniture stores. It took about an hour to put this couch together. If I would have had someone else with me ti would have taken less. Tools were included adn I had all the screws, lock nuts and washers as needed. When I was looking at this couch online I wanted to know how deep the cushions were because I wanted my back to hit the back of the couch when my knees were at the end of the cushion and this couch fits perfect. I am 5'7" and average leg length. The furniture does not have springs but has straps that are woven together for the support of the couch. I have not had construction like this in a sofa before so we'lll see how it holds up over time. I know the springs don't hold up. Very high end looking sofa. I am pleased!

Just received this sofa for my small condo size livingroom. It's the perfect size...not overwhelming at all. The color and look is just as I expected. The sofa seems study. It only took my husband to assemble in about 10-15 minutes!!!! The only downfall is that it is not as comfortable as my older sofa...but it's o.k.

From the photo of this couch it appeared that the back might be narrower than the front. We needed that to be the case in order for the sofa to fit into a recessed nook in a narrow room. The customer service folks were great and had the warehouse measure the back of the sofa for us. Low and behold, they said the back was roughly 10 inches narrower than the front. We ordered the sofa. It turns out that they hadn't measured the full length of the back, they measured the back section without the sides of the couch attached which added another 10 and 1/4 inches and it didn't fit in the nook. As a result we have to rewire the room to move the tv and computer cables to the opposite wall so the sofa can fit on the long wall. It changes completely what we had planned for the room and is costing us money out of pocket to have the wiring done. Beyond that, there was a spot on one of the cushions about the size of a hamburger bun. It is very faint and more like an anomaly in the fabric rather than a stain, but disappointing to have on a new couch. As a result of these two concerns, Overstock offered us a full refund if we sent the couch back, or a refund of $80 to our credit card, or an Overstock.com credit of $100.

This is a great looking piece. It might not be the most comfortable because there are no back cushions, but I am using it for the look and not for the feel. It was a little difficult to put together..... took longer than I thought it would and one screw would not fit no matter how hard I worked at it.

Bought this for an office and it was nearly perfect. When putting together, however, there was a design flaw that let only 2 of 4 bolts from connecting (this holds the right edge of the couch on to the main frame). Looks great (even if not compleltey safe as of writing this) and Overstock is sending me a new side and bolts to (hopefully) address the problem. For the money, it's a great looking couch. I don't know that I'd want to sit on it much, but we're using it for a waiting room and don't want people to linger too long anyway!

This product had to have been defective. Three different people attempted to assemble correctly without success. finally managed to get it 'good enough' and only one side is now not completely attached. not worth returning b/c would have to take apart and ship in boxes via ups. should've known the price was too good to be true.

It's simple to put together, as long as you have some common sense and have a little patience to read pictures. It's easier than ikea furniture assembly. All the nut and bolts came with the couch. The couch was delivered in three packages (or boxes). Seemed to be well-packaged and nothing was broken or missing during transit. Super fast delivery. It's a pretty light couch, and easy to lift and assemble for ladies out there. Insides consist of thin wood pieces and lots of foam. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world, because the support consists only of some polyester bands (like seatbelts) and some foam. But it's great for a $$$$ couch.Three can easily sit on this couch (four average sized people will fit), but I would be worried that four might break the thing. It was a really dark beige-ish color, and I wish it were lighter. I kind of feel like the darkness of the beige makes it hard to coordinate with other furniture pieces and my wall paint color. I'm not a designer or anything, but I feel like I'm limited to choosing either some accent chairs that are very light/bright vs. a dark leather of some kind. But I think the couch will still work fine for me. You can tell the fabric (microfiber) is super cheap. I think the type of microfiber that's used adds a slight sheen and grey to it. But I think you can definitely dress it up with some nice pillows and a nice quality throw. The two cushions did not fit as tightly into the frame as I would like it to. B/c the cushions don't fit as tightly into the frame, it's slightly uncomfortable for the person sitting in the midde without that much support/cushion beneath them. I don't think it's a big deal, because I still like the couch for the budget I had.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was as described by the site =Taupe. It looked a little greenish on my comp screen. But in person it was a tan or dark beige (almost nearing brown).
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is as expected for a less than $500 couch. It does its job and works for me, because I really liked the shape of the couch.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? It's microfiber, but a cheap quality microfiber. It works for me, because I don't expect to use this couch for more than 3 years.

This couch is light weight and on the "cheapy" side in my opinion. I thought if I ordered here, I'd be getting a better sofa for a discounted price, but NO, you're getting what you pay for. So don't expect a quality sofa. The fabric/upholstery is really unsightly in my opinion. The box it came in says microfiber, but it is not. It is a weave- very stiff, polyester looking, that resembles the upholstery covering a cheap car seat. Looks like it may snag fairly easy as well! The pictures make it look much softer and smoother looking. This is good for someone who is on a budge, doesn't have too high expectations, just something to make do with that looks fairly decent. I don't think this sofa will last long. It is not well made. This is about the same quality as the cheap futon I am replacing. A bit disappointed. I would have gladly spend a couple hundred more for a longer lasting, higher quality sofa.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. After 2 weeks of light use it looks terrible! I would love to send it back but will probably just try to recoup some of the money from selling it at a yard sale because it would be impossible to take it apart, package it and return it.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It's far greener than shown in the picture
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. I have had this for about 2 weeks, cushions are starting to ripple, the fabric (not microfiber) water spots so there is about no way to clean it. The fabric is not microfiber, I have other pieces that are microfiber and this is very different.
