- I ordered the Raisin color and its really nice piece .. Not to complicated and very nice fabric. It sits low so just be sure you aware and I wouldn't use it in a family room .. More for a formal room with no a lot of traffic! Now is in my bedroom
- This chair is so beautiful. It was easy to put together and is just shimmers and shines when the light hits it. I have a blue velvet couch that is the same color and the blue color matches exactly what it is pictured as online. I couldn't be happier! Oh, and it is comfortable as well.
- I absolutely love the color of chair; purchased blue. It’s very comfortable and is just for show not to actually be sat on. I thought it would be a little wider and taller. It’s perfect for the size of the actual living room space. The cushion was a firmer than I thought which is a plus.

- I love this sofa, the color, the texture. It was easy to put together but definitely requires two person to attach the back to the side parts. I did it myself and I believe that's probably why that corner of the sofa has that space on the bottom. I had to wait two days to get the second box though.
- Love this couch! It’s definitely more forest green than teal but I still love the color. It’s also still comfy but has a little firmness to it so best of both worlds. Make sure you have someone help you when trying to assemble, because this took me a while. Great price too!
- Pretty easy to assemble but still took about 3 hours to build. Mostly because some of the bolts wouldn’t fit so we had to use oil to get them to fit. Pretty firm but still really comfortable and the color is just like in the picture.

- The delivery company was amazing, polite and helpful! Couldn’t have asked for better service. The couch is also a 5 star, so comfortable, color was just like the photo. One can tell it’s a sturdy couch and very attractive! Ps- those are my pillows, the ones that came with the couch didn’t go with my color scheme.
- Love this couch. The color is perfect, and I like how deep it is. I went from a couch with an attached chaise to this so I was a little worried about being able to comfortably lay on it. But I think this couch is actually much more comfortable, and I love to lay on it.
- I would give this couch 10 stars if I could. It's THE most comfortable couch ever, many naps have already been taken on it. The color is perfect, the material does not pick, and it's got a modern look while being spacious and comfortable (but not bulky). Highly recommend if you want a stylish and comfortable couch!!

- It’s really cute! But putting it together was difficult with the legs. They didn’t really match up when screwing them on so getting the legs to all go in the same direction took forever. I love the color though! It’s perfect for a small apartment!
- I ordered these for work. Color & fabric was great! Just as we pictured for the space. Assembly was easy, we had a little trouble with getting the legs set (they are a unique shape) but overall we were able to do both pieces in less than an hour.
- This settee is very nice and is just as you see it here. The color is perfect and it fits really well into the space. I'm very happy with the quality as well. It's very comfortable to sit on and looks perfect in the room with the other decor.

- This couch came in less than a month! I couldn’t find the right teal blue couch for my new home at the right price. I’m glad I checked Wayfair because for a custom couch, the price is definitely affordable. I love the color and fabric (Tina Gulfstream) and it’s easy to clean. I would definitely recommend!
- This couch is amazing! Super comfortable and the color was perfect. I would say that it is a little flimsy like it could easily be twisted in half if it weren't handled carefully, but overall definitely a great buy. Also took 4 months to be delivered. But still a great couch
- Big and comfy just what I was looking for. Conversation Capri color, a nice light-medium grey. Ordered end of September, originally scheduled for December delivery, ended up arriving first week of October. Just note, it comes with 5 matching pillows, I was planning to swap them into different covers, they are zippered. It’s just stuffing inside, not a pillow.

- The couch is beautiful, and fits perfectly in my small-ish living area. The cushions are deep, so it’s comfy to sit on. I also love that the cushions are removable. Makes them much easier to clean. Great quality. Even the quality of the wooden legs make it appear that the couch would cost more than it actually did.
- Love this sofa! It is beautiful and of great quality! I was very hesitant to get it because of not seeing it in person but I am so glad I did. It looks very expensive and makes my living room look like a page out of a magazine! The pictures do not do it justice. If you are thinking about it...get it!!
- My sofa just arrived. It did take some time to get here due to Covid. But the quality I think ., was worth the wait. The color is spot on. it is a light cream. This sofa is very comfortable exactly what I was looking for

- LOVE this loveseat! Extremely comfortable and sturdy! So easy to put together by myself (64-year old female with a major back problem.) The loveseat looks absolutely gorgeous in my Sitting room. Very comfortable for me and my best friend to sit. Excellent deal and great quality. Would definitely buy again!
- Arrived quickly, fairly easy for my husband to put together, good quality. The olive green is as pictured - a nice deep green. Goes great with the Sofa Table as well as the Armchair & Ottoman. Recommend!
- Very happy with my purchase. Good sofa quality all the way around and looks nice. Sturdy frame and solid cushion support. It does take a little time to assemble though. Took me a little bit over an hour but comes with good step by step instructions.

- This is a great couch. Heavy and great quality. I would say that its more on the stiff side and you do have to have a lint roller or something to take out the small things that get attached to the couch because of the material.
- Amazing quality a little stiff. Used for a year in our living room but decided it wasn’t comfy enough. Beautiful but not practical for everyday use.
- Beautiful sofa. Nice and firm, great quality, wonderful price. Excellent delivery service. I also purchased the loveseat and ottoman to match. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
