I was a bit worried about purchasing a couch online, but after looking for MONTHS on different websites and in furniture stores, I found this one and I couldn’t pass it up. It had everything I wanted. I can configure it until any way I’d like, meaning that I can make it into a bed when my friends or family come to visit. The color is exactly what I was looking for (it’s darker than the photos, but beautiful), the velvet is soft and the couch is comfortable, yet firm enough that it supports you. I have a small apartment so I didn’t want something too big and this fits wonderfully in my small space. An added bonus is all the storage space. 1010 purchase, glad I took a chance and bought this couch!
