Novogratz Bowen Sectional Sofa with Contrast Welting - Modern Blue Fabric Sofa for Living Room, Lounge & Family Room - Comfortable & Stylish Home Furniture

I was able to assemble this sofa myself easily, no tools, you just sort of fit pieces into each other. The ottoman legs and sofa support leg had to be screwed in (also no tools). Hardest part was getting the box off the dolly because it kept moving! The legs are solid wood which is great because a lot of sofas I checked before this had plastic legs that looked like wood. Seat cushions came vacuum sealed and those have a weird odor that I’m trying to get rid of (Amazon vendor was Cymax). It will be a week in 2 days that I’ve had the sofa and it still has that odor. The back cushions were in regular plastic covering, weren’t sealed and don’t smell, neither does the rest of the sofa including the back cushions. Fabric is nice and soft which I love. Seat isn’t too comfortable but the back is. Hopefully it breaks in a bit. Velcro keeps all cushions in place. I’m 5’5” and can lay straight out on the seat with a bit of room to spare. My husband is 5’11” and he can lay with his head propped on the arm and legs stretched out. A plus since we only had a loveseat before and he wasn’t able to do that. I sometimes sit in the arm corner where the chaise is because there’s a little nook there I like. Since the chaise is really an ottoman at the edge with a chaise cushion, you can put it in the middle if you want or put one short cushion on it and use it as a real ottoman and the chaise cushion horizontally on the sofa with the other short cushion to make it like a regular sofa. See photos. The velcro won’t line up that way, but it works. Novogratz responded to my question asking about this saying it couldn’t be done but I saw another sofa with the same ottoman chaise set-up where the company demonstrated that as one of its big features so I tried it just now. I haven’t tried it in the middle yet because our coffee table/ottoman is right in front. Only thing is you see the zipper from the chaise cushion in the front of the sofa, but if that doesn’t bother you... Oh there are zippers on the seat cushions but I don’t think it means you should remove to wash as I believe cleaning instructions say to spot clean.It fits my space very well.I received the couch earlier than expected but some of the couch came defective. It’s somewhat comfortable for the value but can’t give a good review because it came defective. The legs were scratched up and it wobblesOrdered this couch & afterwards read that some people weren’t receiving their money back. They emailed me a few hours later saying they had no inventory & to cancel the order for a refund. I couldn’t cancel the order & I emailed amazon which is how I got my $700 back. It’s a lot of money for them to be saying “they don’t have inventory” after they take the money instead of saying the couch is out of order and not letting you buy it in the first place. I think they wanted to scam me & I thought I lost my money but I reached out to Amazon right away. you’re better off buying the couch in stores instead.I bought this ottoman for the sole purpose of enabling my elderly Boxer to get onto my bed without help. (He is a very proud man.) I did not attach the legs, and just placed the ottoman beside the bed. It is the perfect height and gives Kermit (that's Kermit the Dog) a soft but sturdy way to ease his aching bones up to his favorite napping spot. It's just a bonus that it matches my bedroom decor.Not comfortable, cushions can’t be flipped. Feels & looks cheap. Cushions slide out from the top once’s even tho there is Velcro that’s supposed to hold them in place. Color is not the same as in the pics. Tried to return it, was told it would be an 8 week wait. We had nowhere to store it and had family coming so had to buy it at a discount and now trying to sell it to recoup what feels like a loss. Big mistakeThis couch was so easy to put together! I purchased for a small apartment and I am so pleased with the comfort and look for the price. Definitely recommend!!Easy to assemble.Definitely not as puffy as shown in the pictures. The cushions came vacuum sealed and they will not seem to open up even after trying to puff it up. The seat is very firm, it’s okay.Colour is also lighter
