Needed a basic couch to create a new sitting/TV area in our basement. I loved the look of this online and ordered it May 11. The tracking never updated from “Preparing for Shipping”, but it showed up May 19 with the box looking very battered. I unpacked it and assembled myself, probably in about an hour from start to finish. It’s fairly easy assembly, the couch is comfortable, and it looks great. Another reason I docked a star is that while the back cushions are supposed to be “reversible”, they aren’t. You can swap the left and right cushions, but you can’t flip them front to back. There is black fabric partially covering the back of each cushion, and also a velcro strip to attach it to the back of the couch. I would have paid a little more / kept looking for a couch that had fully wrapped velvet cushions. But in general I’m happy with the piece and hope it will hold up well. It’s not heirloom quality and I knew that going in, but a few years would be nice :)
