PoundexSectional Sofa, Black

Okay, so this couch is absolutely amazing. It sits higher than I thought, and it is a LOT bigger than I imagined. I live in a small one bedroom apartment in downtown Chicago and it takes up half of my living room. (I'm not complaining.) I was slightly worried because I live by myself and not near friends or family, and some of the reviews mentioned that they leave the furniture in the boxes curbside and tell you to "deal with it." Well, I think that is mostly because it is dependent upon the freight carrier. Mine called me when it arrived at their facility, we set up a time for drop off. I gave him specific instructions to go to the alley behind the building and my instructions were followed perfectly. Now, he even was willing to help me bring my furniture up to my apartment (no extra cost). So really, it depends on what freighter is bringing you your delivery. The only issue I had was getting the furniture out of the boxes (again this was my problem, I live in a small apartment). Assembly was easy. It only took me 30 minutes to have the couch fully assembled and in place. The most tedious and time consuming part was putting the feet onto the bottom of the couch. Some had problems finding the holes, but all of mine were visible. If you have an issue, just feel around for the hole and you can punch out the fabric with a pen or pencil to bolt in the feet. The sections also lined up perfectly, the pins snapped into place and I slid the couch into place. So here are the breakdowns of the pros and cons of the couch:Pros: It looks very very nice. It is firm and comfortable to sit on. There is enough room for 5-7 grown people to sit on. I can't speak to durability yet, however the faux leather appears to be extremely tough. I don't plan on taking any knives or blades to it, and it doesn't feel so tight that it will rip apart after use. I am 6'5 and I can lay out comfortable on this couch. The headrest on the end is very comfortable with a pillow and keeps you from folding pillows in half to prop your head up. I have a hardwood floor and area rug. A concern was the couch moving when I leaned up against it while sitting on the floor. The couch did not move. The little rubber feet on the bottom of the legs certainly help. This couch is so comfortable, I fell asleep on it during the first hour of testing it out. (slept for 4 hours, didn't even notice it)Cons: If you sit between the cushions, I found there to be a slight comfort issue. This isn't a big deal because there are a ton of places to comfortably sit. The headrests are a little tricky to work. The other reviews will tell you the same. It's faux leather. If you are constantly shirtless or lounge around your apartment in the buff, this couch will grab you and it will be like peeling your skin off when you try to get up - Especially on humid days. If you or any guests sleep on it, I recommend laying a blanket down underneath. My biggest issue was with the feet. this couch is hard to move with an area rug. The feet grab onto everything and make it difficult to slide. While this is great in keeping your couch in place, set up is a pain. But after you work through the set up and placement, it is sturdy and ready to be sat on.Hope this review helps!

It's seriously big. You could get the same thing for twice the price from a furniture store, but why? It's pretty easy to set up, you just jam the headrests in and screw in the feet, job done. You can do it on your own, but I'd get a friend to help if you can considering its size.One problem, though - it'll break if you sit down on it too quickly or bounce around. It won't break clean in two (well, beyond it doing so on purpose as a sectional) and you probably won't really notice it, but it will break if you're not careful. If you're a fat guy like me and you flop down onto it, expect to hear a crack.Otherwise, it's got nice firm cushions and it's possible to sleep on it, but I wouldn't do so for more than a night. It has really cheap faux leather that will stick to anything - legs, arms, back, even the shipping material (some styrofoam fused to one of the cushions, had to apply some strategic duct tape several times to get it off). I would strongly recommend getting at least 3 soft throw blankets to cover up the cushions, such as this guy here:  Pinzon Velvet Plush Throw - Navy  which is very thin but is cheap and will do the job. Sure, it'll cover the oh-so-fancy faux leather, but you won't need an ice scraper to peel your legs off of it.I mean, wow, this thing is so cheap. I really can't fault it for the price. But just be aware that you get what you pay for.

I am very pleased with this purchase!😊Very comfy as well as stylish. Also….easiest assembly EVER! You screw the feet on(take your time and screws line up perfectly) and attach 3 headrests. Incredibly easy! I wanted I post once I decorated the entire room, but I was too excited.😂Beautiful piece.

Two months in and this couch is holding up VERY well to our use and three, small little dogs. Nothing has torn, and the quality is pretty outstanding for the price (less than $650 at the time of purchase). The only slight downsides are some of the alignment for the legs are not 100% perfectly aligned, but honestly I've run into this on much more expensive couches from brick and mortar stores so it's not that big of a deal.Also, the hooks that hold the two pieces together WILL rip off if you try moving this couch on your own without un-hooking them. That sounds like a "well, no duh" kind of statement, but you'd be surprised how many people rag on the quality of something because they weren't patient enough to do something the right way. The only other downside is that of preferences. This couch sits a little lower than most, but it's not super dramatic, and the feel of the faux leather on skin isn't smooth by any means. It kind of sticks to you if you rest on it for a long period of time. It's not super uncomfortable by any means, but to some it could be.Delivery was fast, and our delivery service (it wasn't FedEx or UPS but a carrier like Pilot who was local for bigger items such as this) was outstanding. The delivery guy brought it up to my porch, and even brought the boxes inside my house. People really shouldn't ding a product because the delivery guy was a jerk. Amazon really has no control over that. Overall, definitely one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon.
