Serta RTA Astoria Collection 73" Sofa in Church Brick Tan,

This couch is great -- for what it is. If you come here with expectations that it's a $319 sofa with a $3000 feel -- turn away, you'll have to spend $3000.My criteria for a couch:- Cheaper sofa,- Small sofa to fit in my small apartment- A comfortable sofa- Good color to match my decorWith those criteria in mind this sofa fits exactly what I expected. Which is why I gave it 5 stars, because it fell into my realistic expectations.I was legitimately surprised at how comfortable this sofa is. No sore bottoms. My only complaint is that the bottom seat cushions are determined to move forward --- which causes the back pillows to sink into their place. I'm going to be fixing this with a bit of velcro. A cheap and effective solution -- but my old couch, which was $1500 did this same thing, so I wont fault it.It took me less than an hour to unbox and put this couch together. Seriously. Less than an hour, I started at 6:30 and finished by 7:20. This includes taking pictures that I'm posting here.When I had finished putting it together I was ... at first unimpressed because the cushions seemed wrinkly and wrong, but there is a note that they will expand over a few days -- which is why I waited to post this review. The cushions did puff up just fine after a few days and everything smoothed out and didn't have strange wrinkles or bumps. So in my finished picture, you'll probably notice those wrinkles/bumps, but they did eventually expand correctly -- I just didn't take a picture of that.Really, I put this on par with IKEA furniture. It's not meant to last forever, but I imagine I'll get the years of use I need out of it.Someone pointed out it does smell -- yes, it does. It was made in China, of course it has that factory smell. While I was assembling it I was sure to open all the windows, but now after a few weeks the smell has dissipated. Though, you could encourage the process along I'm sure with a bit of light cleaning.... It amazes me that people buy a couch at this price and expect it to be the pinnacle of perfection for furniture. It's not the best couch you'll ever own, but it is a good couch if you're not wanting to invest $3000 in furniture yet. It's great if you plan to move a lot, if you want something comfortable with a good color, something easy to break down and move --- etc.Yay couch!

i ordered this couch because i wanted something that would not have a huge footprint in my small NYC studio apt with limited square footage. more importantly, i needed something that could actually fit through the door, and i knew that most pre-assembled couches would not even make it up the tiny stairwell. this product was heavy in the box, to be sure. but i just opened the box where it sat in my apartment lobby, and brought the pieces up one or two at a time. i was so impressed with how clear the instructions were and that it didn't require an insane amount of tools to assemble. the couch is firm and does not look or feel cheap at alll i love how supportive it feels when i sit on it, and its low profile makes my apartment look bigger, rather than something out of Pee Wee's Playhouse. i highly recommend this couch for anyone who typically shops at IKEA or is looking for something similar. it is better made and the style is more timeless than anything else you will find.

This couch is pretty good. I'm hoping it will last me ~5 years or so, with occasional light use. It comes in a massive box that you cannot carry up stairs by yourself. Assembly, however, is pretty easily done by one not-very-strong 20-something girl. It took me maybe an hour or two.Assembled, the couch is quite comfortable. It's a bit snug for 2. The boyfriend and I will snuggle on it sometimes, and it always feels just a smidge too short in length and width. We make it work for a movie, but if things get ~handsy~, this couch is a bit small. It looks nice most of the time. The color and fabric are great. My only complaint is that the cushions get squished and slightly misshapen fairly easily. I have to re-fluff them back into shape (aka punch the fluff into position) after too long of sitting on it.Overall, I probably wouldn't buy this couch again. And I certainly don't expect it to last me more than a few years. But for a few years in a grad school apt, I think it does a pretty fine job.

Nice couch, It was missing a eye bolt toggle that secures the screw in place, I couldn't seem to reach the mfg. company to get one mailed to me. I'm sure not returning whole couch for that! The couch is small, but that is what I wanted for my tiny living room. I'm 5'4" and I'm comfortable on it, but any taller and you might have issues. (the back is very low) Love the color and fabric, cushions are nice and thick. Good couch for the price! Easy to assemble, I did that myself

I purchased this for our RV. We live full time in one and the furniture that came with it was uncomfortable. The sofa came in a large box, which made it easy to bring inside (piece by piece). It was easy to assemble and took only 15 minutes. It’s not too heavy. The sofa is very good looking and very comfortable! It’s a little firm, but I love that. It fits three of us (adults or older children) comfortably, but 4 smaller kids can sit on it otherwise. My only complaint is that I wish the arm rests were a bit higher. Other than that, it was a great purchase.

Looks great and assembled during my lunch break! Arrived at my front door in a large box that I was able to push inside (definitely could not have lifted it by myself). Assembly took about 30 min! Definitely a sofa where two people can sit side by side...would be too small and would not have enough depth for two people to lie side by side. Also, one reviewer said the fabric was scratchy....I disagree. It is a sturdy fabric...it has a little texture to it, but it is definitely not scratchy. I am definitely happy with my purchase!

The pros: timely shipment, easy to assemble, great upholstery fabric and well made seams, good size for small apartment, surprisingly sturdy for an assembly required item.The cons: assembly required (I wasn't expecting that), bottom cushions not that comfy to sit upon and they protrude a bit over the base, back of sofa has two fabric panels that Velcro down showing slight puckering in places and for my room layout sofa back faces entrance to room so not hidden flaw.

For a cheap internet couch, it's pretty good. The backrest cushions are too soft, and I'm going to replace them with foam. The seat cushions are very firm, which I like, but might not be everyone's cup of tea. But for the price, this couch is good value.

Easy to assemble, comfortable, but seat cushions slip a little wee bit.

Quite comfortable, relatively easy to set up, good for lounging and napping (for someone who is 5'8")

No deep enough. The cushions keep sliding down and the arms are too low.
