1st time buying furniture online. I saw this sofa (or one exactly like it) at a large local furniture store. It was double the price. The only difference I could see is that they offered custom fabrics. When I found it here I was thrilled but it still took me a few months to decide. I paid to have it delivered into the room. They dropped off a huge box. My husband and I took off the box and put the feet on it. We are not handy at all and it was easy. I’m so happy with this purchase. It’s the 1st thing you see when you walk in my front door and everyone notices it and complements on it. Before I had a very safe neutral set. This couch steps everything up a notch.
