Very happyKevinMy old Ikea Kivik couch had lost all its support and resilience. The cushions like marshmallows. My back increasingly unhappy. So it was time to consider an upgrade. When I first sat on the Applaryd at the store. I was struck by how firm it was. Yet.... it was still quite comfortable. Now, a few weeks down the road, I'm very happy with that decision. My back feels far more supported, and I can relax more easily. Not a cheap item, but IMHO worth the investment.5

Looks sleekWillThe streamlined style fits well in a smaller space. Generally comfortable--review measurements of seat height and depth for personal preferences.4
Deteriorating after 4 monthsAndrew B.We purchased this sofa and chaise in blue and within the first 4 months there has been pilling and separation of the fabric on the sofa cushions (seats). The couch is comfortable and spacious but considering the quality and cost of the piece, I would steer clear of this product.1
Fantastic value, stylish, and comfy!kendraVery easy to put together, the fabric seems durable, and the cushions are the perfect firmness. If needed, the chaise can be switched to the other side, so that's great if you move and need it switched. A few throw pillows add more comfort as the back of the couch is as another reviewer wrote - at a 90 degree angle from the floor, but I find it comfortable as is. It's a tremendous value for what it is. It replaced a one year old custom curved and very pricey couch that was falling apart, and I wish this would have been available back then when I bought that one.5
Probably the best ikea couch / sectional and definitely the best sofa on the internet under $2000 by a wide marginTaire A.Aesthetically pleasing design, comfortable feel, amazing fabric, easy to install. I crossed shopped this sectional vs styles from mid range American and danish brands and this came out on top, sacrificing a bit of originality ( from a design perspective ) for overwhelming value. It is pleasant to look at, very comfortable to sit on, and quite solid to boot. It's the most used couch in our house and our 2 year old toddlers love it ( they spent a lot of time jumping up and down on it and it shows zero signs of wear although we've only owned it for 3-4 months ).5
ImpracticalAizadaI think the makers never tried sitting on the sofa themselves. We used to have a cheap couch from IKEA, and it was much more comfortable!
The worst thing is the back pillow. The couch has a straight and rigid back, made at an angle of 90 degrees, as well as a short seat, which does not allow you to settle down with your legs and relax at all. The bulge of the back falls on the area above the waist. Our entire family is disappointed with this purchase. I would really love to return it but it would cost me another 500$ to pay movers.1
