This is a solid and attractive copy of the classic Le Corbusier sofa. The leather seems to be good quality, soft with a real grain, not grain-corrected, as far as I can tell--at least it does not look at all plasticky. The chrome frame has not (yet) shown any sign of being cheap or poorly made.The cushions are not wholly covered with leather, as (I believe) the $4K+ versions of this sofa are: the invisible bottoms of the seats have white fabric. So there'll be no flipping of the cushions if the good side gets stained. The foam in the cushions is quite stiff--not the same experience as sitting down in a down-stuffed version--but they are loosening up already, and to me at least (at 6' 3"), the sofa has been comfortable.I've had this only for a a month or so, and it sits in a room we don't use every day. So far, though, it has done well--no problems have materialized.
I am a psychotherapist and see about six clients a day who sit on this very couch. I bought it for the style ad because I thought I needed a really really small couch (my office is rather small) that was white leather and sturdy. So I have had this couch since last March but I am going to switch it out for something longer and more comfortable. Only a few clients have found it truly uncomfortable for their 50 minute sessions. It is however very classy looking, sturdy and terrific for a small space. I am getting a new leather couch because I want to be able to stretch out and take a nap on it in between clients. I have tried but, even though I am only 5 4" tall, and even with 3 down throw pillows and a blanket, I just can't manage to get comfy enough to take a nap on it so it needs to go. Really big guys do seem uncomfortable. I got a matching ottoman on anther website (not a perfect match but okay). I clean the leather pretty regularly with McGuires leather upholstery cleaner (pep boys/automotive) but it is a bit hard to get the blue jean blue color off of it if you don't clean it every other week. I got one weird black stain that I haven't been able to get off of the cushion. Also keep in mind that it does take several weeks to off-gas (chemicals from manufacturing in China - likely bonded leather or painted leather or something but it's not bad and I am picky). I think the metal is lovely. It's not shiny but it's really good looking and very study.
At first I was afraid of the white color this LC Leather Sofa features, but I am glad I have ordered it anyway. The contemporary style and the elegance of the Le Corbusier-style make this sofa the perfect piece of furniture in my living room. It is easy to clean and it is extremely comfortable. Every piece in my living matches with this beauty. The price was affordable for such great quality.
Aesthetically perfect...for a small area. Make sure you check the dimensions - I was surprised to find it smaller than I expected. It's very light (> 100lbs) and I got it all sorted out myself (I weigh > 140lbs). Otherwise, it's excellent. Gives the living room a v.clean, contemporary look. Arrived on schedule; expect a delivery within 7 - 10 days after purchase.
We purchased this sofa for our 24 year, old student son, who lives in an apartment. I do not know where to begin raving about this sofa. Modern sofas, typically have a low seat height, this sofa seat is supportive which will NOT allow you to sink into the sofa below your knees like some sofas. This sofa allows you to get up with ease even if your knees are bad. The back is low, something my husband always says he does not like, however this sofa back is firm and comfortable. There was not a mark on the sofa and it was double boxed. Our son at six feet and his five foot two grandmother and everyone between loved the comfort of the sofa. Grandmothers feet sat perfectly on the floor. Visually, well just look at this sofa. There is no assembly involved. The sofa was a chore to get up the two flights of stairs to our sons apartment; the stairs are on the outside of the building so I insisted on leaving the sofa in the box. When my husband and son got the sofa to the top deck, they could not get it in the door with out taking it out of the box. That is when we discovered it was double boxed! If we had known that, my guys would not have any trouble getting it up the stairs. This sofa will fit in any other small apartment that my son may live in later.
You need to understand what you are buying. This is a classic reproduction. You can see furnature like this on the period TC show "Madmen." The sofa is light weight, clean, modern, white leather - like a marshmellow. So beautiful, I don't want anyone to sit on it. I just want to LOOK AT IT. This, and other Le Corbusier pieces are beautiful works of art to behold - be warned, the scale is low, this was the style in the 60's. When selecting this other pieces, match scale and proportions. For instance, the height of the back of this couch is a petite 27 inches. (Overstock has several other Le Corbusier pieces in stock). The steel frame is solid - not hollow or cheap. It is firm seating. The price, I can tell you from my own detailed research, is insanely low, when you especially factor in coupons, and free shipping. I am very happy. Not a stratch on the item. It arrived PERFECT. And I am very, very picky. The other contributors comments are very helpful too.
I really really love my white couch. It's sleek, super modern and chic. My office looks amazing and I always get compliments about it. The couch is easy to clean due to the leather. Iv had it for 5 years & they still look brand new
This is a brilliantly conceived unlicensed knockoff. I'm very impressed. And saved a nice $5 grand or so over my licensed versions. True stainless steel (not magnetic at all) base. Livy top grain, not crappy bonded, leather. Remember not this and the original are tiny almost IKEA sized but that's what I needed. And expected. It's for looks as much as function. Great vendor. Great speedy delivery. And very well packed. Good job Mr. Chinese Furniture Maker.
I received amazing quality on low price, which I could not imagine before. I always found pieces that were poor quality and the price was way above what I can afford. Since I made my first order from Overstock I always come here. This white leather sofa is my latest purchase and it is the centerpiece of the room. Stylish, elegant and really comfortable.
This sofa looks amazing. It is modern, fresh and even pure with a simple and unique design. I love combining colors so near this white sofa I ordered two black LC chairs and it is beautiful. I am happy that I found this perfect price as this design is triple elsewhere. Love you guys and will come back for more.
