I don't normally leave reviews, but I was super hesitant to purchase this sofa based on some people saying is was hard. I was buying a new sofa because my previous one was hard. Like sitting on concrete. Gave it 3 years to break in, it never did. So I was super leery to purchase this but it looked so beautiful I just took the chance. To start the delivery by Wayfair was fantastic. Honestly the guys who came were great, clean fast. Extremely easy delivery of an oversized item is highly underrated. Second the couch is so dark in can look at black at times. That works for me as I wanted black but there was no good option I could find in stock for a black velvet couch. Lastly, this thing is totally cozy, it's soft and it looks beautiful. It's a no brainer. I'm planning to purchase the chairs that are similar, just wish the price on those was better, because ouch!
