Couch assembled quickly and easy (put it together by myself!). Not the most comfortable couch. I was excited about the cushions being 'attached' to the couch, but the join in the middle of the two cushions is shallow and undefined. Back cushions are attached with velcro and sometimes make annoying sounds. Velvet is more like microfiber. Not expecting this couch to last more than a couple years, and will not be getting a similar one in the future.
