A big mistake that I wish I did not make.  The sofa arrived and the box looked like it had been through some rough handling. The tape seams were open but it looked like it may be ok inside. Upon opening we immediately noticed the cushion seams were not sewn or ripped and the stuffing was coming out. Hoping that it would still be ok once we put them in the slipcovers we kept working on the assembly and noticed there were stain marks on the front bottom of the couch. Still hoping it would work out, and that we may be able to clean the spots, we continued assembling only to find that the two guide rails for the back of the couch were not placed in matching spots and the back could not be placed straight causing the middle stabilizer to not reach where it is supposed to be secured. Finally, upon a growing list of defects, we have given up and feel like the couch is too defective to keep as it is not able to be assembled due to faulty construction.
