Poor quality and Parts don’t align wellRahulThe sofa is stylish from the looks of it but quality wise it’s not great. The quality seems poor and after assembly the hand rests don’t align properly too. They’re titled out on both sides and doesn’t seem like there’s a fix to it.3
Saggy and uncomfortable after a few monthsJenniferWe loved this when we first got it. We swapped the legs for longer ones immediately, but we are pretty tall. I even napped on it a few times and it was cozy and comfy. Six months later it is sagging in the middle so much you can neither nap nor sit on it comfortably. I waited to write this review because I wanted to see how it lasted. It does not fare well after a short time. Now just over a year later it is uncomfortable garbage. Some of these reviews were written before it got its new lower price (translates to quality drop) the one in the Coquitlam show room is from before that so when we sat on it in store there were no signs of sag. I feel duped. I will not buy another sofa from here or likely any living room chairs either1
Search Reddit for SÖDERHAMN saggingAureaSagging 2.5” in 6 months. Reddit threads confirm defect.1
SÖDERHAMN Only for DIYersAureaLet's review what you actually buy:
A frame that sags like a tired hammock
"Seat cushions" that vanish faster than my will to assemble IKEA furniture
The privilege of spending another $200 on:
-Bed slats (to keep the frame from collapsing) as per reddit
-MDF panels (to fake a flat sitting surface)
-Memory foam toppers (because the seat cushions are decorative only)
IKEA's warranty team insists this is "normal."
Pro tip: If your sofa requires structural reinforcement from the lumber yard, it's not furniture.
When your customers are literally rebuilding your products, maybe the problem isn't "user error."1
It’s very comfortable the onlyFatimaIt’s very comfortable the only problem that I have is the separation between two cushion that you suppose to seat on them but if three people seat on it one person will be in the middle of the cushion and that person gonna be uncomfortable and you can not lay down on it as well because you ‘ll feel the separation while you are laying down on it except this problem I think it’s nice and comfortable3
Super comfyChantalLove this sofa, it's big and soft with cushions that you can move around to create extra support where you need it. Only drawback is that the fabric is a little scratchy. Overall I'd buy it again!4
I wish I could give them zero starsAnnaJust got my couch delivered. I ordered LIGHT BEIGE color, assuming I'll get a sofa in a nice beige color as indicated on the pictures. The couch I got is WHITE, the color is totally off. I do understand that the actual color might be slightly different, but it's completely off. I just had a chat with IKEA representative and sent him all the pictures, he was laughing saying it's exactly the same. I'm not blind. And I paid $59 delivery fee for nothing, now I have to go to IKEA and return this couch by myself.1

SoderhammCatherineIt looks of poor quality. Probably going to return it.1
Good couchMustafaCushion padding are too thin…everything else is great!4
DO NOT RECOMMENDAnonymous reviewerThe sofa made of unbelievably poor quality materials. The pillows are far from having regular pillow texture, the label says it made from recycled polyester - which totally feels like plastic. But the real issue is that the price is definitely not cheap comparing to quality. You can easily purchase better sofa's from other stores. Half way on my assembling, I realized that it was a huge mistake and I just returned it.1
Horrible open space between cushionsCalebThe sofa looks cool but unfortunately it’s not well designed or constructed well enough. The cushions are super thin with flattened edges that look grubby and worn. The cushions slide around exposing 4” wide gaps between the seat cushions in places that you’ll naturally sit or have your hip/shoulder when lying down. You’ll end up feeling the plywood frame every time you use this sofa. Very dissapointed.1
