UPDATE: For 420 and getting this delivered to my doorstep in 2 days while my husband was deployed was helpful but Its not good for long term use or if youre the kinda person who wants to kick your feet up often. This isnt the couch you can cuddle much on. This sofa is cheap so what can you expect but honestly its not that comfortable. It would be a better fit for a child.
Our old beast of a sofa finally bit the dust and we needed a replacement fast. Most furniture outlets had a delivery window of 4/6 weeks, but I needed something in days, so I came to . I looked at many of the sofas on the site, compared reviews, and kept coming back to the Josh sofa. The price was right, so I placed the order.
THE PROS
VERY easy to assemble. One person could probably do it by themselves, but I found it was helpful to have two people
Since its a sofa/in/a/box, it fit easily through our somewhat narrow front door, up our even more narrow interior stairs, and around our sharp and narrow corner at the top.
The design is simple, clean, and elegant. Its pleasing to look at.
The back cushions are nice and plush, and the seat, while a little thin, is comfortable enough for regular use.
THE CONS
The seat depth is very narrow. Im 510, and theres a good six inches from the edge of the seat to the backs of my knees. I constantly feel like Im falling forward and try pushing myself back, but to no avail because theres no more room. This is by far the biggest con, because it takes an otherwise comfortable sofa from being a great everyday piece to being, at best, occasional seating. Its a real shame. I end up wiggling around until Im bent forward at the waist at an acute angle (due to the comfy back cushions) to keep as much of my legs supported as possible, which is not sustainable long term.
The arm height is low. From the top of the eat cushion to the top of the arm its maybe 4. This is more a product of the design and overall aesthetic of the piece, but coupled with the narrow seat depth it makes for an awkward sitting experience; especially, again, if youre tall. My elbow doesnt touch the arm unless I slouch, and when I slouch my legs hang even further over the edge than they already do.
The back is low and comes to my shoulder blades. This is fine for sitting, but if you like lounging in your seat, theres nowhere to put your head.
SUMMARY
A clean, simple piece thats a breeze to assemble, but lacks the comfort of a traditional sofa. A good piece for a guest room, dorm, or game room, but not ideal for a living room with heavy use.
This couch is so cozy and comfortable that I even took a nap on it. It is the perfect size for 2 people or even just one with some room to wiggle. It makes a really nice couch for an office, small living area, small sitting area, as an additional piece. I added a couple of fun throw pillows and it is colorful and cozy and inviting. This is my first time buying online. No regrets. I will highlight, assembly is a 2 person job.
It was super easy to assemble, and looked so great in our basement. It is kind of stiff though but maybe it will wear in a tad! The only other complaint i have is that the coloring is kind of off, i got brown and the color in the picture is darker than the real thing, it has kind of a gray tint to it Overall great chair, nice and sturdy and perfect size for a small area.
The online description of the Contemporary Upholstered 78.4in Sofa / Living Room Couch lacked certain measurements that caused much delay in my purchasing decision.
Although overall length, width, and height were clearly indicated, dimensions of seating width between armrests, seating height above floor, seating front to back with and without included cushions were not provided. Because of these unknowns, my wife was not enthusiastic about buying this couch.
My petite wife finds that to be comfortable on many sofas she has to reduce the front to back seating distance by adding a cushion behind her back and reduce her seating distance height by placing a small cushion under her feet.
After visiting many furniture stores in our city, we were unable to find a couch with her desired measurements.
Because of price with no additional delivery charges by , we then decided to take a chance with the couch.
Delivery time, convenience, condition, and material quality exceeded our expectations.
Seating width between armrests is 67.75 inches. Seating height above floor is 17.5 inches. Seating front to back with included cushions is 17.5 inches. Seating front to back without included cushions is 25 inches.
These are exactly the dimensions we wanted, but never expected. Amingly comfortable for my petite wife and also for others at 220 pounds and 6 feet tall.
Assembly was tool free, super/simple, and quickly accomplished.
I was on the fence about this loveseat for a while. I read the reviews, a lot of them, and finally decided to just take a chance. Im so glad I did! This couch is fabulous for the price point. Its a little shorter than your average furniture but as Im 54 its nice to sit somewhere and have my feet touch the ground. The cushions are a little firmer, and they make a small crinkle sound a bit at first, but Ive only had this for 2 days and its already going away. I wanted a loveseat that was a little bit wider in the seating area so I can have company over and not be touching butts with them. Im a fluffy girl but theres still plenty of room for someone else to sit and have our personal space. The arms looks small but theyre padded quite nicely on top so theyre still comfy to lean on. If youre on the fence about this loveseat, just be brave like I was and buy it, its better than I expected! It took me maybe 20 minutes to put together and thats because I accidentally opened the box upside down and it made it a little harder to pull everything out. Instructions are clear and simple, legs screw into the arms, everything else connects with sturdy metal brackets. One/woman job,easily. If this ever decides to fall apart Ill probably buy another one.

Easy Assembly, Okay for Price, Convenient

Perfect size
This sofa is very comfy. It is the perfect size for my bedroom.
Worthy purchase!
Turn cushions. Lightweight. Easy assembly. The only thing that may be an issue was the low back part. But, I love it!

Great couch for smaller space and good price
The color and quality of the material are great.
