I love this sofa! I originally bought it because my boyfriend and I have moved a lot in the past few years and we wanted something that could easily be disassembled and carried straight out the door by one person. So, the design is great. Heres the problem. It doesnt feel like its made to last. The bottom cushions are permanently attached. They cannot be removed for cleaning, not easily replaceable, or easily reupholstered. The wood on the sides or anywhere that bears weight is strong and no different from any couch. However, the wood in the front where your legs hang and kick the couch is so flimsy I could literally RIP it apart with my bear hands. I expect this couch to last 2-3 years tops before Ill have to buy a replacement.
