Serta Copenhagen Sofa

We have a small (and awkwardly laid out) living room. This couch arrived on time, was easy to assemble, and fits perfectly. It has a faint smell of plastic or something, but I expect that to fade away as it airs out. My first impression of the fabric was that it looks better in person than I remembered thinking it did in these reviews. The patterned pillows are nice as well. It's not super deep, like a couple other reviewers mentioned, but I am ok with that because it'd take up a lot more space if it was any deeper. I have three small boys, so it will likely take a beating. For now, the low price, fast shipping, easy assembly, sturdy frame, and nice look get this couch 5 stars. I will update this in a couple months to let you know how it holds up! For size reference, I included a photo of myself and my large 2 year old enjoying the loveseat (taken by my 4 year old). I'm thin, but 5' 9.5" tall and find the size comfortable. 3/12/16 Edit: In the past 4 months this little couch has endured lots of jumping on, snack crumbs, one peepee accident, one vomit incident, a coffee spill, a couple mystery smears, and general daily little boy dirtiness. IT STILL LOOKS GREAT. This is mostly thanks to the magic of windex (it works fantastic on carpets and the microfiber material this couch is made of). A little hack that I think you should consider - while you're here on amazon, buy a couple of waterproof bed pads or crib mattress liners and sneak them over the cushions before you put the covers on! This will save your couch. I have washed the covers in my washer and dried on low and they come out looking new. One of the pillows has a couple broken threads in the design, but other than that i am happy with how its holding up.

EDIT: I initially gave the couch 4 stars however have since removed 3 of them. The beam in the middle broke with two adults sitting on it. One adult weighed 165 and the other about the same. Complete waste of money and now I have to buy a new couch again. This couch is very flimsy and made with a very light wood so buyer beware! The couch came in a rather small box so I was slightly dismayed however once unpacked it looked to contain a normal couch sized parts! Assembly was a breeze: no tools needed, took about 35 minutes and I put it together all by myself (yay!). The couch is very light, to note, not heavy at all as it seems to contain absolutely minimal metal parts (if any at all aside from the screws) and the wood is very light. Its a dark chocolate color, looks lighter in the pics online but is more of a Hershey kiss color (beautiful color either way). A word of advice: as stated in the instructions, FLUFF THE PILLOWS before inserting into the covers! I see complaints about flat cushions and had I not read the instructions I never would've fluffed mine so once unpacked and opened, fluff THEN stuff, once they are in the cover they expand, no fluffing after that. Lastly, it comes with two accent pillows, one side matches the fabric of the couch and the other is geometric shapes in shades of brown and gold. 4 stars, not 5, because the couch is so light I am wondering just how much wear and/or weight it can take however will leave the review as-is until that last star is earned :)

I ordered this sofa-in-a-box after some unexpected plumbing repairs took all the money I had saved for a new furniture-store sofa. It seems like most inexpensive sofas of this type are not well-made and fall apart pretty quickly, so I did a lot of research trying to find the most reliable manufacturer. Serta won hands-down for reviews mentioning both easy assembly and a sturdy build. I also wanted a mid-size (apartment-size) sofa, and this one was perfect. The sofa arrives in one big box. Once unpacked you see four main pieces, along with several flyers asking you to PLEASE LOOK INSIDE in big red letters. What they mean is that the lining flaps on the underside of the seat pieces are velcro'd and can be pulled open (gently, I was too vigorous and tore one) and inside are the remaining pieces to put the sofa together. And you will find the back cushions stuffed inside the back seat pieces; pull those out. Once everything is laid out, assembly is straightforward and not too difficult, with clear instructions and numbering. The only problem I ran into is one that others have mentioned; one of the eyebolt holes on the side of the frame had been drilled about a quarter-inch away from where it should have been, so it wasn't possible to bolt that side of the frame until I drilled a new hole in the proper place. There were also a couple of places where no hole had been punched in the lining to accommodate the screw hole underneath, so I had to feel for those places and then cut a hole myself with a work knife. Other than that, assembly was smooth and quick (less than 45 min from unboxing to sitting on it.) Photo is of couch immediately after assembly; the cushion stuffing loosens up and settles a bit after a few hours, so the lump or two you see here went away. Once assembled, it is a comfortable if slightly firm sit that feels very sturdy. I'm glad it is a little too firm now, as sofa cushions always soften with use and they will be ideal once they break in. The frame feels sturdy and supportive and the arms and back-pieces are well-padded. I wish the back pillow cushions were a little firmer, but it will be easy to fix that just by adding more stuffing -- all of the cushions have zip covers, a nice feature since they can be taken off and washed if needed. The fabric is a little bit of a disappointment, though, it feels a rough and a little too thin. I have now covered most of the sofa with a slipcover throw, which eliminated that issue. Overall, I'd say this was an excellent buy and I'm very pleased with it.

We received this loveseat and put it together last night. This "no tools required" loveseat looks at first glance to be quite sturdy. The issue *I* had - the reason why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 5 - was with the finish of several of the pieces. For example, the right back rest's thumb-screw hole was drilled approximately 1/4" higher than it should've been (Through the sticker marking where the hole should be, no less). That's ok, I was able to drill a hole in the right place. Good thing I have tools! Furthermore, the fabric was supposed to have holes cut out in several places for other thumbscrews to go through. There were SOME cut out (2 of 4 foot screws, 2 of 5 thumbscrew holes), but most I had to poke a hole with a pair of scissors. Not the worst thing to deal with, but mildly annoying for something that was supposed to require zero tools to put together. The last complaint I have is that the fabric underneath our right seat cushion ripped away from the velcro as we were trying to remove the flap to extract the pieces stored in the seat. So, there's a tiny piece of fabric hanging down. Not horrible, but not great either. We just put this together so can't sit on it for a few days ... but once put together it does look and feel fairly solid. The cushions felt firm but comfortable, though the real test will come when we can actually sit on this. It seems to be fairly well engineered aside from a few flaws with the finish. All in all, we like the look of this and may consider getting the couch version to go along with this ... someday.

This sofa (love seat - 61 inches) arrived on time and in packaging that protected it from damage. I was able to get the box through my front door with the delivery person's assistance. I disassembled the box and moved the sofa to its intended room, piece by piece, by myself. This process took no longer than 5-7 minutes. Assembly was easy, despite the lack of directions in the package. (10-20 minutes) There were four big parts. The couch arrives in two bottom pieces and two back pieces. The cushions for each of the four parts (all of the parts actually) are inside each of the sections, held within by a Velcro covering on the back, which gives the sofa its finished look on its undersides. One of the bottom cushions is space packed and once the package was opened, it inflated to its original size and shape within minutes. The cushions for the four parts have covers that are packed separately and zip on. The backs of these covers are completed partially with sturdy black material and are not able to be reversed, as a result. The decorative pillows are as shown, plain (matches sofa) on one side and the print is on the other. The back of the sofa is covered in the same material as the front and you can use this sofa in the middle of a room, as a result. I received 6 matching wood legs, in total, that screw into drilled and prepared holes. Two of the legs for the middle are attached to each of the sides, on the bottom, but are placed nearer the back and are almost invisible when viewing your sofa from the front. The four parts are assembled with large, furniture assembly screws which have plastic handles so as to enable you to assemble without using any tools. The holes are drilled and prepared and labeled as to which way to place the screw into which side of the hole. I am 5'5" and find the sofa depth comfortable and I can put my feet on the floor. My husband is 6' and is happy with the purchase as well. He does not find it uncomfortable. Kids and young teens may be able to lounge across this sofa. However, if this is your primary intent for the sofa, you may be disappointed. It is comfortable for sitting and watching TV. The seats are not extremely firm, but not really soft either. (firmness is a 3 out of 5) You feel best seated in the center of each cushion, versus in the middle of the sofa. This fits the bill for my older home with 7ft ceilings and rooms smaller than 20X20ft. This size of sofa does not overwhelm the space. This quality is very difficult to find in furniture found in local stores. If you want to lounge on this couch, I think adding a foot stool or ottoman would work really well as I sometimes enjoy using the XBox storage ottoman when I watch TV, while sitting on this sofa.

We are in our 50's, empty nesters with two Boxers, living in one of our small rental houses while our next house is under construction. We needed something to sit on to watch TV and considered purchasing a couch from Ikea for $399 (their cheapest couch). The Serta RTA couches were on sale at Amazon for $245.63 (this includes free shipping and tax) each. Rye Brown was the cheapest color so we went with Rye Brown. They arrive quickly (quicker than Amazon originally indicated) and in unimaginable small boxes. Hubby put them together very quickly. Couches look truly awesome and come with two very nice pillows (a surprise). The seat area is very cushy and wide enough to support the knees. The backrest does not go up very high and therefore, the neck is not supported enough for me to be long-term comfortable. For that one reason, these will not become our main couch in the new house. The fabric is soft and feels durable and well-constructed. They are very comfortable for the short term. They are dog tested! Our two Boxers LOVE the couches -- No complaints from Obie and Petunia. These couches look and feel much nicer than $245 (that is why we bought two). The couches have a 500 pound (250 per side) weight limit. That is not an issue for us just adding it in the interest of being thorough. Now for the one bad thing about our purchase...one of the couches has a wonky leg. It was not wonky when my husband put them together, it occurred after a couple days of use. I have done nothing to investigate to see if this is an easy fix or not. I do not want to discourage anyone from buying the cough – just felt I should tell the whole story. I have included a picture. It might be easy to remedy -- it might be a defect that cannot be fixed. I do not know. The reason I gave the couches 5 stars is that for $245, these couches ROCK. Love them. We will not use them in the next house as our main couch but one will go in the guest room -- our kids are already arguing about who gets the other couch when we move in March. If the couches were full price, the 5 stars would be a close call not because of looks, but because of the neck support issue. I am including pics of the couches as well as the one with the wonky leg. We covered the couches with blankets to keep the dog hair/dirt issue under control (you can see the blanket in the wonky leg picture). If you are looking for a plush, good-looking couch for a very cheap price, this is your couch.

The pros: * Inexpensive, and high quality for the price. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this piece. * Ships quickly * Assembly is very quick and easy, just be certain to follow the directions. Don't let your boyfriend just randomly start sticking pieces together :) * Nice neutral color * Long - I purchased the 78" and I can stretch out comfortably (lengthwise) The cons: * Not very deep once you put the back cushions on. It's okay if you are sitting up straight, but if I want to lie down comfortably, I have to take off the back cushions. If I want to curl up, I have to take off the back cushions. Basically, if you want to do anything besides sit up straight, you have to take off the back cushions. I'm 5'6", 150lbs, so a relatively average person. The seat width with the back cushions on is about 18" * It's much lower to the ground than expected, so uncomfortable for people over 6ft to sit on. * The seat cushions have a slight slope forward * Both the seat cushions and back cushions are not reversible, so if you spill something on it, you can't just turn the cushion over. For the price, it works. But I doubt that I would buy it again.

I've had this couch for about 4 months now. It's cute, it fits well in a small space without looking child-sized, and the cushions are fairly plushy and soft. Unfortunately, the back cushions were designed by Satan himself with the sole purpose of ensuring that you can never sit for more than 7 seconds. The back cushions have no structure whatsoever and they're not attached to the back with velcro or anything like most couches, so basically as soon as you sit down they scrunch up in a really uncomfortable way. The seats aren't that big from front to back, so while it doesn't SOUND too bad to have your back cushion melt into a puddle of unstructured stuffing as soon as you touch it, the result is actually that they take up too much of what little space there is on the seat, and you feel like they're actively pushing you off. Trying to watch a movie with your partner? Forget about it. Casually reading on the couch? I'll either end up throwing the back cushions onto the floor in frustration or giving up within a minute or two. I've included 2 pictures--one before I sat down, with the cushions freshly fluffed so they look nice, and the second after sitting down for approximately 20 seconds. This couch looks nice and fits nicely in a small space, but if you actually want to relax on it then find something else. ---------------------- UPDATE: after a year of dealing with this thing I am changing my 2-star review to a 1-star review. This couch is awful. One side has broken now (for no clear reason, seeing as I'm gentle with the furniture and don't even sit on it that often), the cushions have gotten completley flattened in the middle, you can feel the middle support beam every time you sit down. I know it's a cheap couch, but this kind of wear after only a year of mild to moderate gentle use is ridiculous. Run far away.

Los orificios de tornillos están desalineados por lo que no es posible fijar el respaldo correctamente y queda flojo.

Los cojines del asiento están bastante alcolchonados, tanto que hacen q disminuya el área del respaldo lo cual me causó una impresión negativa. Los cojines de respaldo están cómodos pero no mantienen la forma y se van apachurrando como una almohada. Uno tiene que darle sus palmaditas para que recuperen la forma original. El color y la textura me han satisfecho.

I put it together myself And I am an old lady.

I really love it

Actually was fairly easy to assemble. Colour as advertised. Delivery slow (apparently a local delivery contractor problem). Not the most comfortable but you get what you pay for. That being said, good value for the money.
