Does it come with cum stains already? Or is that extra?

There you go again...

 

That obsession is going to be your downfall some day.  When you come to me in front of Port Authority Bus Terminal and ask for eighty five cents, don't expect me to give it to you and it's not because I'm bigoted.

I will literally beat you to death with your own shoes when that time comes...

It takes a lot more than that to attend Comic Con.  It's every year for me.

 

Didn't kill-joy look for you at Comic Con one year and somehow didn't see you?  I always wondered how such a distinct character such as yourself could be invisible.

You'd be surprised how many weird dudes wander around Cons wearing cat ears.  After awhile, they all look alike.

Is that a 6 foot length? Or shorter / longer?

 

Too lazy to look it up. :P But it looks comfy. I'm hoping to get a new couch sometime next year.

 

It can hold 3-4 people so its pretty big. Also really cheap, the reviews were both good and terrible so hopefully  it will be OK.

You should keep asking until the joke is funny.

Actually I did go one year wearing that.  Another year, I had a bandana tied to my head like a biker.  You never know how I'm going to be when I'm there.  I could paint my face and be "Owl Jolson", or even Al Jolson.  Maybe I'll go there dressed as Archie Bunker this year.

Dang, too big. I'm more 'love seat' sized in my apartment which is still big enough for me to nap on.

 

I'm guessing that before you slam your butt and / or random large dolls on it, double check things to make sure everything is nailed down properly just because of the cheap factor. I could see the arms coming loose in the future but that happens to anything given enough time and that's probably where the bad reviews came from. It's not bad for the price though so you aren't going wrong. :)

Well, as far as upholstered type things like that couch go. I inherited my recliner from a previous roommate. It's a cheap thing but it's lasted about 23 years and the arms are starting to sag out now. It's not a couch though which might see harder use just because more than one person can sit on it at a time.

All four couches I have are over 30 years old, and none have had that problem.  They have been reupholstered, though.

Some of the reviews on google literally said the couch falls apart with useage :| :| :| :| :| 

 

And some people said they had no problems.

Here are some random reviews:

 

1) I ordered it online and the first one they sent was damaged before the truck driver opened the box, so I denied the shipment, called walmart and they sent me another. The second time, I inspected the box, no rips or dents, so I accepted it, the driver brought it all the way to my living room and I signed the ticket. After I opened the box, it took me all of 10 minutes to put the couch together and set it up where I wanted it, the box was surprisingly light and the couch well packed. After I put it together, I sprayed it with Scotch Guard. The back is a little taller than I like, but it is a great couch that looks great in my living room.

 

 

2) Another item i ordered online. Again, living by myself and desperate for new furnitures for my new apartment. I received the box, which im sure was opened before. As a humble person, decided to open it and keep it as long as its still like new. I was wrong AGAIN! Sofa was damaged. Wood was smashed in (not noticeable on outside). But guess i'l just keep it too cause like i said before, just hate dealing with customer service and return process.

 

3) As you can see, it is cat tested and approved.  As others have said it is a bit firm. It is comfortable though, I fell asleep on it watching TV.  It comes as two pieces, bottom and back, two pillow arms that are held in place by velcro, and legs to screw in.  The back has metal slide in brackets and my husband had no problem sliding it into place, screw on the legs, and put the pillow arms in place and you are done. Now if you are short you might need help putting the back on because of reach to hold it and slide the piece in place. It's lightweight I can move it easily. The construction is more like a very padded bench of sorts. The cushions, seat and back, are attached and do not come off at all. If you look at the underside it has a wood frame and the inside support is arched to meet whatever supports the seating area so no spring base or anything like you see in most couches. It is a nice length, my husband is 6 ft and he can stretch out on it comfortably.  The seat depth is narrower than most couches I am used to so the only thing I might say is if someone is very large laying down it might not be as spacious.  In all though, decent couch for the price and it looks nice too.

 

4) I purchased this sofa in black. It looks nice in my small apartment. It was even delivered a few days earlier than expected. The sofa was very easy to put together (no tools required), and took less than 3 min to assemble. Although the sofa is not as fluffy and comfy as it looks, it is still pretty decent. It is more comfy to lay/sleep on, than to sit on because the arms feel like soft pillows. The cushions do not come off at all. But overall, it looks well in my living room and the price was too good to pass up.

 

5) I was dreading ordering a cheap couch from walmart but I bit the bullet and did it. But I was so surprised by this one.

As someone mentions down in the feedback thread - loosen the guide screws, take one of them off completely and move the guide so you can angle the top part of the sofa and it is not at a 90 degree angle.

It's soft and cushy enough to sleep on. Freight was over 70 bucks!!! But for what I paid this is better than some of the more expensive couches I have seen.

I don't know how durable this is because I have only had it a few days but hopefully it should last.

One thing I did not like is the sound the velcro makes (under the arm rest).

All four couches I have are over 30 years old, and none have had that problem.  They have been reupholstered, though.

 

The reupholstering probably included checking and refirming anything that was starting to get even remotely loose. I know I would tighten everything up if I was taking something apart anyway.

The weren't loose before the reupholstery, but I suppose a selective whack with  rubber mallet here and there was in order.  By that time, they were twenty years or more in age though, and no sigh of arms falling off.

A Morris chair could last 80 years or more without the arms falling off.
