I purchased this couch from Overstock just over 3 years ago and it has been great.
Aesthetically the couch is absolutely adorable - I have gotten a ton of compliments on the color (very eye pleasing). My living is fairly small so I knew I wanted a couch that would be enough space for guests to sit on and enough space for 1 person to lounge on, but not much more. This fits great.
I handled the assembly of this couch on my own and don't remember it being particularly hard. Of course, getting an extra hand while building large furniture items is always a good idea.
I typically would eat dinner on the couch and have had occasional spills. The microfiber is great because liquids and stains won't seep into the fabric right away, so you have time to wipe up the spill before any lasting damage occurs.
I have a golden retriever and her pet hair is SO noticeable on this couch. I regularly vacuum the couch to remove the hair which does the trick. It is very hard to do this by hand however, so make sure you have a vacuum if you have a pet and want this fabric choice.
After a year of use the 2 seat cushions started to lose their firmness right in the middle of the couch & on the regular torso side, basically where the most weight sits. I ended up flipping my couch to the other side of the living room about 6 months ago to distribute weight more to the opposite side and lengthen the life of this couch. Keep in mind of course that I use this couch ALL the time.
Overall the only question I still have is how long the cushions will stay firm and avoid totally sagging. Unfortunately the cushions have black fabric on the non-visible sides so you cannot just rotate the cushions 90 degrees to distribute evenly. Given the price of this couch I would still HIGHLY recommend this item over higher priced options that are out there.
