If youve been searching and searching for a short, but not kid/sized sofa
If youre like me and have spent the last few days staring at small sofas on until they blur into a molten blob of cheap polyester get this one.
I was stuck trying to make a decision for almost a week and finally got this one because the grey color is on sale for around 200, and it seemed to be similar to other sofas I had stared at that cost 300/400
Even at closer to 400 I dont know how much better you can do. Lets go over the main issues for these cheap sofas:
/ Size:
Its a real sized . You wont get it and feel like you got tricked into buying a dollhouse accessory.
It fits me, a 511 200lbsguy comfortably, on just one half of the seat. Another person my size could sit next to me, and we wouldnt even be touching.
And its space efficient. It has that much space for sitting but still for my NYC shoebox of an apartment. The measurements they list are exactly on point, and theres no pointless oversized scroll shaped arm wasting space.
/ Cushion Material:
Long term is always the gamble, but right now its perfect. Firm enough to not feel like Im sinking, soft enough to be comfortable. Good bounce to it.
If sit really weird, I can just barely feel the harder bench part of the seat under my thigh but its not uncomfortable and Im a bigger guy, most people would probably not feel it (and I had to really sit weird
/ Surface Material
Smooth enough. I dont know what a good sofa surface is supposed to be, but I like it. Not scratchy.
Cushions have a slight smell if you put your nose in them, so dont put your nose in them. (I also took them out of their vacuum sealed bag 20 minutes ago so, so theres no way they already aired out)
Thecheapest looking part of the sofa is the wrinkles where the cushion pillow things meet the arms. It doesnt look bad, but if you want a more visually pleasing couch, order 18x18 throw pillows and covers.
/ Assembly:
Some of these sofas seem to want you to play the role of a factory assembly line putting together tiny pieces
This one has like 6 pieces. Of which two of them are the pillow cushions, and the rest slide together.
It barely takes 5 minutes to do that, and I was doing it alone.
Protip if youre doing it alone: Put the large middle section on the ground with the front facing down. Then slide both arms on, and tilt the whole thing back and youre pretty much done
/ Weight Capacity
When you put it together, you realize they really thought it through, all the weight you apply forces the pieces closer together.
End result is (literally) 0 wobble, and more importantly, it wont undo itself over time
/ Color:
Its salt and pepper grey.
I came close to shelling out the extra 200 for the pear colored one before coming to my senses, and Im glad I did. This color matches a lot of other colors, the pear one probably would not look as good in this room
Aaaaand thats it.
Now I literally just put it together, and usually people leave glowing reviews then come back with 10 updates about how their first child was taken in exchange for a refund
But that being said, Ive had good experiences with furniture, and I genuinely think this is an insane deal at <300 and still good if you end up paying a little more
