After endlessly searching for a reasonably priced sofa for weeks, I never thought I would find it on . First off, I was a bit nervous spending $1,500 on a sofa without seeing it in person. Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and the delivery service (I received the sofa in 1 week). In comparison, I almost pulled the trigger on a similar sofa from West Elm. With shipping and taxes, the total cost would have been $2,900 (thats with the Labor Day discount). Furthermore, it would be 6 weeks (build/shipping) before I would receive it. Dont get me wrong, the West Elm sofa is superior to the Aiden Sofa, but not at a $1,400 premium.
The sofa arrived in a giant box which does include instructions. Although not needed, the instructions do state in bold letters that the 5 legs are in the hidden compartment. The first thing I noticed was the smell. Not a leather scent, but a smell similar to those foam mattresses you buy online. After a few days, the smell does dissipate. The leather is not as soft and supple as that on the West Elm sofa, but it is still nice to the touch. It is definitely real leather. Also, the color is true to the pictures on-line.
Overall, Im happy with my purchase and feel reassured that I have 30 days to return it. In the meantime, I will hold on to the shipping box. Thanks for making it possible to buy furniture on-line with free shipping.
Bought this couch and Im very happy with my purchase. The shippers brought it right in (and down the steep stairs!) into my basement apartment. It comes well protected in a bag and wrapped in some protective wrap inside the box. I was a little concerned about how I was going to get it out of the box because I was by myself, but I just laid the box down and essentially slid/pushed the couch out, flipped it up on its back side, screwed on the legs, and flipped it upright. The whole process took me 20 minutes maximum, so if you have two people I bet it would take even less. The fabric of the couch is very very soft, and very comfortable. Its not a couch that you sink into, which I was a little concerned about because my previous couch was one like that. However, theres just the right amount of give in the cushions, and its the perfect length for lying down on (Im 56). Definitely recommend.
This is an absolutely gorgeous couch. The velvet is super soft, the color is incredibly rich. Im not sure how the cushions will hold up, but you cant beat the price. I am in love.
This review is for the brown/tan (cognac) leather version of the Aiden Tufted Mid-Century sofa, 86.6.
First of all, it is quite amazing to me to receive a couch in the mail. Never would I have imagined this a possibility when I was a younger. Thank you internet! The shipping was not the typical 2 day prime delivery, we still received the couch timely within a week.
After shopping around in stores and online, we found this couch to be the style that we liked (mid-century modern). This is very similar to a model sold by Article.com (Sven), but the couch is a much better price. The biggest difference I found between the Article couch is that the Article couch backing was filled with feathers, but the couch is foam. Not a deal breaker for us, so we opted for the couch that is $400 less money. I read some long-term reviews on the Article couch that the soft plushness of the feathers eventually loses its fill volume, and ended up not keeping good support, so we are fine with the foam filling in the Aiden. One other difference I found was that the bottom seat cushion is not removable with the Aiden, but the Article couch was removable. If that is a deal breaker for you, then dont consider this couch, as the cushion is permanently affixed. Also, the back cushions are not leather on all sides, so this may be another deal breaker for some. The back cushions have a fabric on part of the back side, so you cannot flip the cushions if one side gets trashed. We didnt find any leather couches in this price range that were all leather on all sides of the cushions, so that may be a feature for the next price tiers of leather couches. The foam in the cushions feels not too firm, but not too soft; a nice medium plushness. We bought a soft couch in the past that wore its foam plushness thin after 4 years, so we were glad to have a slightly firmer cushion to hopefully last a longer time.
The wooden framework feels sturdy, and appears like it will last a long time. We recently received the couch, so time will tell. As mentioned by other reviewers, the legs come shipped within the bottom of the couch (see picture with this review). There is a zipper that opens up from the bottom, and the legs are screwed in to a wood panel that is a cross beam in the middle of the couch. After unscrewing them from the hidden compartment, it is very easy to attach the legs to the proper locations (all 4 corners and one middle leg). The legs were the only thing that we had to assemble.
The leather color on our couch closely resembles the picture that was on the website. This is our first leather couch, and from what we can gather, leather colors can vary slightly due to the dying process. The leather feels to be a good quality, and does not appear to be a laminated layer of leather on top of vinyl (as some cheap leather couches are). We plan to use leather conditioner on the couch at least once a year, as others have told us that doing so will keep the color looking better, and make the leather last longer.
If I remember, Ill post an update to this review after weve used it longer. We have two boy toddlers that love to have messy hands, so they will definitely put the couch to the test.
I love this sofa. I wish I had splurged for the longer one. Im 54 and I can touch both arms lying down head to foot. Its firm but not as bad as I expected. Very comfortable! I love the roll pillows it came with too. Very easy to assemble. If youre worried, dont be.
I have a small space and was looking for a mid century modern couch. This couch checks all the boxes. Its classy and stylish. The set up was so easy (literally just screw in the legs of the couch by hand). And delivery was very convenient.
This sofa turned out great. I was a little concerned about the firmness, since we have another sofa with an extremely firm cushion and its uncomfortable. This one is a little bit softer, so its still pleasant to sit on. Plus the genuine leather helps give it a really warm, supple feel. The photos on the listing are very accurate. The cognac leather is not super light, nor is it super saturated as some pictures show. Just right!
This sofa is so pretty. Its not velvet but a cheaper version. In my light, its more vibrant than in the photo. Its a comfortable height from the floor and also very comfortable to sit in. Rating it 4 stars because the frame seems to be pretty low quality it arrived with a wooden support splintered in half but it wasnt noticeable until I opened the bottom to find the legs. Once I noticed that was broken I looked more closely and found a second area where the frame was damaged. For these reasons, I had to return it but so far that has been very easy. They are scheduled to retrieve it in just a few days.

High-end, just as I hoped.
Its exactly what I thought. Sturdy, real leather, feels high end. Just as the pics depicted it.

Good product
It is comfortable and rigid, does not occupy much space. Nice leather product.
