Promising review: "I was skeptical that I would like this modular couch when I ordered it. It arrived in less than a week, and we were thrilled we were able to get the boxes through a narrow basement door 29" wide, with a tight corner. Set up was as easy as it looks in the video. I thought the comfort level would not be as good as a full size couch, but surprisingly it is very comfy! We ordered an extra ottoman to have the look shown in the photo. If you are trying to find great seating for smaller spaces or particularly with narrow doorways and hallways, this is a great solution. Extra 5-stars to the product designers because of the detailed and thoughtful design. So glad we purchased this." —L. Harrison

It arrived in a box and was so easy to put together - it took only a few minutes. The material is a very nice linen and it is a beautiful piece of furniture. It is comfortable to sit on - other reviews mention it is firm and while it isn't something you'd sink into I find it the perfect balance of comfort and feel this will hold up over time.

Promising review: "I’m very happy with my purchases so far. I bought two of these loveseats to put in the living room of my small, urban apartment. Their petite size is perfect for my space, since larger couches would have taken up too much room. I like their sturdiness and firm support. We bought some couch pillows which add all the extra comfort I need while lounging. If you need a good small couch to fit a small area, I recommend these." –Jojo

Promising review: "This product is HEAVY! However, it’s also GORGEOUS! It goes flawlessly with my mid-century modern theme.

Promising review: "I needed a sleeper/ottoman combination and something small that hides away when not in use. I found this one a really cool ability to transform into an ottoman, chair, and bed and still be small enough to be out of the way. I was not disappointed, this one is very fine quality. The mechanics and the fabric is very nice quality. Very heavy-duty and very comfortable, too. Easily changes from one to the other, and light enough to pick up and move into the corner. The assembly was easy because there was no assembly. It was ready to go right out of the box. No cons; this one is really nice, and I am very happy with the purchase." –Richard Kissick

Promising review: "I love her. The color is gorgeous, a deep emerald with a hint of forest, and the texture is a smooth velvet. It is firm, but I find it incredibly comfortable for the price. I was able to put it together by myself in about 30 minutes. 10/10" —Kasey

Promising review: "This couch arrived in one piece, folded into a relatively compact box. It is inexpensive, beautifully designed and engineered. Easy to assemble as well. I was looking for an easy-care couch with a large surface area that my dogs could join me on and I found it with this with the back folded down. I am very pleased and kind of embarrassed that I was looking at expensive options given that my Labrador is fully stretched out with plenty of room for me. It does have a firm cushion but that's good for my back and the dogs don't mind at all." —LIsaE

Promising review: "I LOOVVEEEE this couch!! If you are on the fence about buying it, just do it. You will not regret it.

I would absolutely recommend." —Lindsay

Promising review: "We recently moved to a smaller place and needed a couch that fit our style and space. The couch was simple to put together and seemed sturdy once built. It did have a strong chemical smell out of the box but we sprayed it with linen spray and linen disinfectant and the smell went away. It’s not the most comfortable seating but it does really well. Overall pretty satisfied with the purchase." —Shauntae C.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this sofa. Bought it in the 'Taupe 78' and it fits my condo perfectly. It's also pretty firm which means it will not get all out of shape. The cushions, back and bottom are Velcroed and can be removed for fluffing when needed. They were also a bit creased when out of the packaging, but nothing a steamer couldn't fix in a jiffy! I would not hesitate buying this sofa." —Todd
