“Just finished assembling this couch with my dad and 2 siblings. Took us about an hour. Had some difficulty screwing on the back part for one of the chaises but overall pretty easy to do!*Velvet is nice and smooth, not rough and doesn’t feel cheap like other velvet couches I’ve tried.*Cushions are nice and plump, it’s comfy but you feel supported*All seat cushions are velcroed into the base. Back cushions are not. All cushions have a zipper so if you need to wash or restuff it looks like you can, but I haven’t completely taken out the cushion from the cover so don’t take my total word for it. *Side cushions for the chaises are zippered onto the base.*Chaises’ lengths are a bit on the shorter side, but that’s fine with our family (we’re no taller than 5’5″. At most our feet dangle a little off the chaise. My brother in the picture is 5’5″) Overall couch is super comfortable, easy to assembly, and the color is amazing. Since today’s the first day it’s hard to say how long the couch will hold up and keep its shape but hoping for the best!” – Merribeth Cordeniel (Source: Amazon)
