this review is for the ZINUS RICARDO CONTEMPORARY UPHOLSTERED 78.4" inches
SOFA, BLUE COLOR. this sofa consists of 6 upholstered separate pieces and
4 legs(hard plastic). this sofa/couch is shipped in 1 rectangle box which
can be handled by 1 person having some strength. once the box is opened,
all the pieces are packed in such a compact manner as to save space.
assembling this sofa can be accomplished by 1 person, providing that
person props one end up against a solid surface so that pressure can be
applied to the end arm piece for the metal connectors to slide in snugly.
the base needs to be supported with a solid object as well, if this
assembly is done by just 1 person. the
the metal supports that are attached to the inside surface of the arm
rests and also the base, fit together in a V shape. the base V shape
supports the upper V shape...sliding together.
the back of the couch also slides into a third V shape that is also on
the side arms of the sofa.
this sofa makes a perfect conversational couch. meaning that it is the
style of couch that is great for having company over for a visit and
conversing while sitting comfortable. the reason i mention this is that
this sofa isnt very wide from front to back and the knees of an adult
person rests a couple of inches or more off the endge of the seat. a young
child or young teen could lay comfortably on this sofa, but wouldnt be
so for the average adult.
the seat base of the sofa is supportive. no springs can be seen under
the base and there is a covering over the bottom underneath which has
velcro around the edges to conceal the open space. the sofa fits 3 adults
comfortably. using corner pillows on the ends of the couch will help
support the body weight of any person sitting on the ends.
this sofa/couch is the perfect answer for people who are in apartments
that have space dilemmas in hallways or corners because these sofa
pieces can be carried individually. the base is narrow enough that if it
is stood up on end, it would fit around and in any openings. also great
for using in college dorms or dens.
the directions are pictures only, no wording. there is a limited 1 year
warranty.
NOTE: before assembling the legs, remove the black protective cover tips
covering the bolt.
