This sofa was easy to put together but it needs two people. I’m very happy with the way it looks (slightly darker than pictured for taupe). I bought it for my daughter’s townhouse and it’s perfectly sized for a small home. The cushions are Velcro backed so they don’t slip around. Surprisingly comfortable, too. I’ll definitely be buying one of these for my home - for a bedroom or other small area. I like the low back because it’s super for placing your arm along when you’re talking to someone. I hope it lasts.
