Im impressed I could get a large 3 person sofa that wasnt an ugly mess for the price I did! The color is perfectly neutral to fit into my cool color scheme without being dark and dreary. The assembly was a piece of cake- no screws, nuts, and bolts to mess with.
I had a $1700 tufted midcentury sofa but my cat mauled the arms and when I thought my cats couldnt do more damage, when I stored it at my sisters house for a year, her cats had at it and puked on it. Reupholstering is not worth it at all in the dc area unless your sofa is worth at least 2k and I dont have the time and energy to meticulously vacuum and lint roll every little tuft on sofa.
I tried to cheap out and found a used sofa on Craigslist but not only was it not what was advertised, it was stained, flimsy, and it was an out of production so I couldnt find a good fitting cover so it looked like trash draped with an ill fitting cover my cat would get under. It was so small you couldnt lie in it, didnt want to sleep on it, so I just avoided that sofa which dramatically impacted how I used my living room - I just didnt !!
I had enough of these sofa shenanigans and bit the bullet on this one. The price seemed too good to be true - I thought of a million and one things that must be wrong with it but when we got and assembled it its the right level of firmness. Pillows fit right. Nice low profile. A nice fabric with jus true right amount of texture. If I had to complain the seat cushions are not removable (imitation seat cushions) but they are upholstered in a way where its not obvious not to mention its kind of a pro since it means you dont have to flip your cushions over to vacuum. The backrest is on the thinner side. But unless you have kids jumping on your sofa its not really a big issue.
