I was a little leery about selecting this sofa based on previous reviews about holes not lining up, feet being loose, etc, but I'm happy to report that they have improved the process of assembly. The couch is delivered in three large packages, one that contains both arms/ends with feet and brackets already installed. The other two packages are the back, and the bottom with cushions. The ends of the back and bottoms already have brackets installed as well. To assemble you simply line up the brackets, easily done by two people, slightly less easily done by one, drop them into place, and boom, you have a sofa in less time than it took to get the packaging material off the pieces.
I am extremely pleased with the material and design of these couches. We ordered two sofas, both in the "haze blue" color. Because of the linen-type texture of the fabric and the variagations in the color, it matches well with a variety of blue tones. The lines of the couch likewise lend themselves to a variety of styles. We have ours in our rustic/craftsman/farmhouse/eclectic/vintage home and they look amazing. I could just as easily see them paired with mid-century or modern decor.
I was not thinking they would be "sink in" comfortable couches, but I am actually very pleased with how comfortable they are. We have two seating areas in our house and I'm surprised at how often we and our kids gravitate to these sofas, well beyond what could be attributed to the novelty of new couches. I'm a picky sleeper and could easily nap on them with a soft pillow and comfy blanket. I also love the fact that I can sit all the way back and let my legs swing. They have excellent postural support without the softer back cushions. I'm sitting cross legged on one right now as I type this, and am perfectly comfortable. An additional benefit of firmer cushions and no seperate back cushions is that these sofas never look rumpled or untidy, which in our house is a minor miracle, considering that we have several biological and foster children messing around on them more or less constantly. These same children have managed to mark them with everything from "I really hope that's mud" to "I just don't want to know". I'm extremely happy to report that diligent application of disinfecting wipes seems to remove all marks so far from the fabric.
We noticed no smells beyond a mild "new furniture" smell. The seat cushions are not reversible but do have zippers. Thankfully we haven't had reason to attempt removing and washing them.
We honestly could not be more pleased with these sofas. We've purchased expensive sofas from large furniture stores before, and have not experienced them to have a corresponding superior amount of quality compared to these. We were also extremely impressed with the customer service of Great Offer Stock.com. I realized the day after I ordered the sofas that I had received a 10% off my entire order coupon in my email. I called and the very helpful customer service specialist applied the coupon retroactively and refunded me the difference.
I would recommend both the sofas and Great Offer Stock.com.
