Hesitant to buy at first cause of the lack of reviews. But I went ahead with it. I ordered the gray but it's definitely not like pictured. its a little lighter than expected but its fine. Its velvet so you WILL be seeing the contrasting fibers with movement. It came in one box, pretty big and REALLY heavy. Need two people. It came with the sofa folded in half, light assembly needed. Use a power drill and save an hour of hand screwing. i love that it folds down halfway and all the way with poles for support. Legs are nice and solid. its pretty sturdy. really soft. cats love sleeping on it. scratching not as much. I havent seen it attract a lot of pet hair yet like velvet would. I dont have a nicer photo yet but this is the idea. the bed part isnt so hard. soft and comfortable still. the middle poles add support under the couch. I love how it was affordable. stylish, and functional.
