Very DisappointedPamelaWe bought this sofa 11/2022 & are very disappointed in how it's held up in comparison to the IKEA Karlstad we had before it. The arm frames of the sofa are completely crushed in; both are broken, look awful & feel awful. Other parts of the frame have also cracked, but the arms are the most noticeable.1
Looks amazing, so comfortableLanaWe've had it for two years now and it has held up amazingly. It's very firm but that's what I wanted. I regularly fall asleep on it when I'm watching a show. Our previous couch was a ten year old Ektorp sectional, and it had lost all it's firmness and sucked to sit on. Love this couch! Also, our living room is small, and this was a perfect fit. We wanted something we could both lay on at the same time, and this does the trick!5
Perfect fitAmandaPerfect size for smaller living rooms. Love the clean lines and simple design. It was very easy to assemble. The back cushions took a while to puff up, definitely let them go the full 72 hours. I hope they don’t get flat quickly but time will tell. It’s a little firm and “crunchy?” at first but I think it’ll soften up. I wish it was more of a true beige, there are lots of gray threads running through it.4
Stylish, Durable, and Surprisingly Comfortable SofaAnonymous reviewerWe bought this couch two years ago, and it’s held up beautifully. It has a nice, modern, neutral color that complements any decor. We’ve received lots of compliments—many people think it’s from a high-end store like Crate & Barrel or West Elm. It’s on the firmer side, which we don’t mind since it seems like it will last longer, but it’s still very comfortable. Guests often end up falling asleep on it! We chose the Gunnared beige, which has a subtle touch of blue thread that we weren’t expecting but really like. With occasional fabric shaving and cover washing, it still looks brand new. Any spots are easy to clean with a carpet or spot removal product.5
Fantastic for the PriceAngelenaWe purchased this couch back in 2018, so the price was a bit less than it is now, but it has held up pretty well considering we have had two golden retrievers jumping and sleeping on it the whole time. The cushion covers have ripped due to the dogs, but we just purchased new covers. The cushions have definitely worn down over the past 6 years, but we just rotate them to make sure they don't get unevenly worn. For the past 3 years I have actually been sleeping on the couch due to my partners sleep schedule being different than mine, and i honestly love it. I highly recommend going into the store to sit on the couch in person before purchasing because everyone likes something slightly different. I also recommend having a friend help you put it together because the pieces are large. I think it took about 2 hours to put together at a leisurely pace. Due to the current price, I don't know if I would buy it again, but I am very happy with it, 6 years later. 5
Amazing couch even after 1 yearCharissaWe have had this couch a year and it’s still in great shape! Happy with this purchase and wanted to recommend.
Pros: spots come out easily with cleaner-doesn’t stain easily and we have a baby
doesn’t show much wear after 1 year
Still firm, holds shape well
Gunnared beige looks very neutral and chic
Rcvd many compliments-no one thought this was from IKEA
Cons: if you’re looking for a soft cozy couch this is more firm. We still love it and added down pillows to lay into our5
Don’t Buy If You Have a LabradorJennaThe couch is perfect, firmer cushions for lots of daily use. The fabric is soft and seems durable; howeveeerrrr if you have a Labrador, plan to be scraping the hair off with a metal tool every day or so. We don’t allow him on the couch but just by him leaning or his fur being on our clothes our couch is covered. We tried tape and varying suction settings on our two vacuums. Nothing works. We have to use a pretty rough metal scraper to get the fur off and it’s ripping the fibers of the fabric.4
