Bad chemical smellKiIt has been months since I’ve received the sofa, and it still smells like chemicals. It is stinking up my entire living room and I don’t even want to sit on it. I used to like ikea sofas, but I think they started to use cheap materials which has this toxic chemical smell. 1
SHOCKED At Positive ReviewsDavidHaving shopped this Sofa and LS for years at multiple Ikeas, finally made the plunge, leather. What they delivered, while I have no doubt it will outlast me is like sitting on plywood! Medium Firm is ridiculous…try REALLY FIRM! Fortunately IKEA allows it to be returned, and will be initiating that this weekend after only a month. I think the firmness makes up for poor design in the back, and if you desire a quality seat with some level of confort this is NOT your sofa…now you know. Looks pretty cool though!2
GreatMohammad HadiI liked it as soon as I saw it at ikea .I hope it will hold up its shape esp. Its cushions after yrs of use . The assembly was so easy for me as a single one I did it in an hour .4
Very comfortable and will last foreverStephenI bought the beige leather Kivik sofa in 2011 and it still looks and sits as the day I bought it! I would love to add another piece but not fan of only offering black now.5
neither too hard, nor too softJundikivik is very good for siting,as I saidneither too hard, nor too soft，There is a wide sofa armrest both side，it looks very atmospheric4
Sturdy and comfortableChristopherThe cushions are dense and firm so it's a very comfortable couch to sit in....assembly is simple. The completed couch is heavy and solid. 5
Kivik SofaDarrylVery Stylish, real Comfortable5
I was just starting theJaneI was just starting the process of looking for a leather couch. I saw this one in your sale area, but needed to learn more to compare. Spent the following day at stores carrying leather couches and then came back to IKEA, bought this one and had it held for a day while a truck was rented and friends found for pick up. It looks great in my house, is comfortable, and receives compliments.5
Good but get pillowsGrahamSo this couch's back is super firm, it's not "medium firm". Other people who have had this couch compared it to the Flinstones couch, which I had a good laugh about. (With all that said the seat feels perfect.)
So if you're buying this couch and you sit with good posture or looking to improve your posture, this couch is a great buy.
However if you're like me and like to slouch, kick back, and watch TV or play games for a hour or two straight. it's not so great on it's own.
Which is why I'd highly recommend buying a set of plump 20-22 inch throw pillow to fill the triangular gap made up from the space inbetween your back, backrest, and seat.
Other notes: Looks good, and easy to assemble. The leather makes it easy to clean for spills which is good because my girlfriend is clumsy. I also bought two Kivik leather ottomans.4
Comfortable and pretty as well.IrinaComfortable and pretty as well.5
Great couch!CarolThis is a nice couch and looks very nice in the living room.5
Loved the sofa so muchJoniLoved the sofa so much but was a little small for my needs so I bought the chaise. It is perfect.5
Updated My Living RoomLillianI purchased 2 Ikea sofas 14 years ago and decided to update my living room so I purchased the Kivik style this time. I am very happy with the new look/style. I would have given 5 stars but the pillows seem to be a little bunched up so I'm hoping over time and use, they will even out..4
Please bring back the dark brown color!SusanI bought this sofa in dark brown almost a decade ago and I love everything about it. I’ve been wanting to purchase another sofa in same color but I haven’t seen the dark brown color ones for years now. All I see is plain black ones. Was dark brown color discontinued or just not available to American consumers? Please bring back the color!5
handsomeAnneThis sofa has been in the IKEA lineup for a long time and has proven its longevity. So far it looks great! Comfortable without being too soft. Big enough for 3 people without feeling crowded. Easy to care for.5
