Like if Jack Torrance was a couch
I don't usually like to leave bad reviews, but buyer be warned. This couch had ok-to-good reviews, so my hopes were medium-highish, but after trying to sit on it for the past month, I absolutely hate it. It feels like a personal first-world tragedy, being trapped with a very heavy, very unkind couch. The seat is so shallow and low that it forces you to sit with your knees out to the side, and as a bed it's like sleeping on springs with a thin layer of foam over them. Because that's exactly what it is. It's immensely unwelcoming. I watched the face of a house guest when she tried to sit on it and within minutes we decided to leave entierly rather than pretend to be OK sitting on this thing. I harbor deep, personal resentment against this couch, but my window to return it has closed, and that's on me, I know. It's like being in an abusive relationship that you can't get out of because you live alone on the second floor and don't have a pickup truck and the couch weighs about 200lbs. I honestly want to hire movers just to get this thing out of my life. I'd sell it, but only if I knew it was going to terrorists. I'd set it on fire, but it's a waste of matches.
On the plus side, it was delivered right on schedule and comes with little pillows.
**Update**
After owning this couch for a whopping 2 months and sitting on it almost never because it was so intolerably uncomfortable, it broke! Couldn't take the weight of 2 physically fit adults sitting next to each other. Seat just went crunch. Monumental.
