It was delivered right on my 2nd floor apt door intact on time. Sturdy and the sitting cushion is firm. This is what I wanted. I read the previous reviews. So far great for me." —Y.A

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! I got the green and it goes flawlessly with my mid-century modern theme.

Added bonus, if the sofa is up against the wall then you can recline it, if the upright position is too erect." –Anonymous

Promising review: "I needed a sleeper/ottoman combination and something small that hides away when not in use. I found this one, 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, where 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

Get it from Target for $240 (originally $300).

Promising review: "This couch exceeded my expectations for a couch under $300. The black is as pictured and the couch is sooo soft. I also love how high it is off the floor, I'm 5'6" and my feet just touch the ground. That said, it is also the perfect length as I can stretch completely out on it with a few extra inches left. I was skeptical because the reviews said the couch was firm but honestly I love it, it doesn't feel that different from other couch cushions. I think the firmness of the couch also adds to its height and shape. The packaging is very heavy, about 100 pounds, but assembly is very easy I did it alone in about 30 minutes. All in all, this couch is perfect for what I was looking for and I think it will last maybe a couple of years, which is fine at its price point. This is one of the best couches you can find online." —Juanae

Promising review: "This loveseat is great. It's the perfect size I was looking for in my studio. It's well built and doesn't take too long, an hour or less, to assemble. It looks classy and has a classic feel to it. If you're looking for a super plush item, this is more firm. I wanted firm and classic/aesthetically pleasing – it met my expectations." —ryan jauregui

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: "I SCOURED the internet and half of my city trying to find the perfect couch for my space in my budget. I kept coming back to this one and I am so glad I followed my gut. It’s so cute, the fabric isn’t itchy at all but has a bit of a tweed look, dog hair sweeps off easy enough, it’s sturdy, firm-but-not-too-firm. I read some reviews that mention that the chaise sits a smidge higher than the seat and its true — it’s not so much that it sits any higher but more so about the fact that when you sit on one end of the cushion, the other end see-saws up a bit. This does mean, however, that my feet go numb after having them propped up too long. But if I’ve sat on the couch with my feet propped up long enough that they fell asleep, it’s probably time to go do something else so I don’t mind. I’m thrilled with my purchase!" —Maggie

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
