How was this couch going to get put together?

How was I supposed to take enormous couch parts out of these cardboard boxes?

Luckily, I had my husband to help and take on the grunt work.

How it performs

Ive had the couch for several weeks now.

The fabric withstands scratches (cat-tested) and spills with ease.

The overall structure feels solid, giving me confidence in its long-term durability.

With its low profile back and modern silhouette, the sofa looks so elegant in our family room.

If you have children and pets, it doesnt mean that you have to sacrifice style for function.

To be fair, assembling the couch wasnt my favorite part, but it was well worth it.

I finally feel like my home has a grown-up feel to it.
