I bought this sectional from a local wholesale furniture dealer. You know the kind of dealer who sets up shop in an old building that you would have never known was even a furniture store had it not been for the ad. I don't quite remember how I heard of the place...Creig's list maybe. Anyway, the price was unbeatable. I saw the picture from an ad and when I went to purchase the couch, I was disappointed it was a dark chocolate brown, and not the camel tan one in the picture. Even in the picture listed here, the couch is darker like the leather. I decided to go ahead and buy the couch and lighten it up with pillows. I have three children, so I figured the darker color would be best. The cushions seemed firm and stiff (not the good cushioned firm, either).So, I'm ready to grab the couch and ottoman wrapped in plastic and load up the truck when the store owner's "mover" comes around from "out back" with two boxes...hmm. My first thought was if a couch could even fit inside the boxes. After some reassurance, I am ready to take the couch home still. THEN, the owner tells me that the ottoman would have to be ordered...ok...more disappointment. I hate salesmen, by the way. After getting the couch home, it sits in my living room for a few days before I call up a friend to help me put the thing together. An hour, or two...like most reviewers...and everything is all set.
After setting up the couch, I was pleased with the way it looked in my loft...however, I still had questions about the cheap cardboard feel of the frame and the plastic feet and how light the couch was. Needless, to say, about a year and a half later, I am pleased with the purchase.
The first weeks of use, my three young children broke in one of the cushions pretty badly by jumping on the couch. I noticed a change in the firmness almost immediately and when I sat down, I wondered if I was on the same couch. I sank deep. However, the other cushions have remained pretty stable and that one cushion has not gotten any worse. The couch has had many spills...and there are no stains on the couch after wiping the couch with upholstery cleaner and a damp rag. The color is still the same as well.
After researching the name brand, Coaster, I found that this couch is actually for functionality. And that's exactly what it does. It's very functional. I live on the third floor and I can actually appreciate the concept behind this line of furniture. It's lightweight, easy to put together, and cheap in price to where I'm not going to care if my little ones tear it up. It looks very nice in my living room and it's holding up. I don't have to worry about moving this item down three flights up steps when I move out, either. I recommend this couch for college students, or those who live upstairs.
Had couch for 2 weeks now and the fake leather is ripping on the corners....CRAP!We have had this couch for less than a year and already the frame on one of the sections has broken and the springs on all the seat cushions have popped making them impossible to sit on! (Goes by the brands Wildon Home and Bobkona as well) Well Ill just say, it wasnt what I thought it would be. the color was a lot darker than expected. it took so much work into building it up when i thought that it would come rapped in plastic already set up. its not as soft as it looks. its actually a bit uncomfortable. If i had to do it all over again, i would by my couch somewhere else.I bought this set for my new house, and I was really excited to get it because I hadn't had a complete couch set in a long time, but when I got it I was disappointed. The quality of the material was not what i thought it was going to be. It's also not as comfortable as I thought it would be. Being a couch, that is the signature piece in the living room, and I am not happy at all. I found one that I like a lot better and am going to get. I did my research on the new one, and the quality and comfort level are 10 times better! I can't wait to see how this new couch set fits in.
