I like the way it looks I guess. Assembly wasn’t too rough. Packaged cleverly. But here’s the thing : a couch is to be sat on, it’s hard to sit on this. There’s not a comfortable position. It’s just plain old awkward. I had high hopes, perhaps foolish of me for the price tag being considered. Or maybe I’m just fancy, I don’t know.

I cannot describe my complete and utter disappointment in this couch. If you are someone who is on a budget thinking, "Man this is a great buy and it’ll do until we can afford something better!" - Just keep scrolling. This purchase may be my one, true regret in life.

After all the rave reviews I went ahead and ordered this product. I am extremely disappointed.
Maybe my product came defective, I sat on it once and I weigh 125 and in the middle it has started to sink in (in the middle) and is very uncomfortable now. I set this up maybe two weeks ago now and it is already giving me issues.

In the gun control debate one of the measures that’s emerged as a way to get guns off the street is a gun buyback program. The concept is that to get guns off the street the government will buy your guns from you. One of the counter-arguments for this surfaced in the form of an image of a piece of wood with a metal pipe going through it.

Great bean bag chair but it came with a tear in the cover where the vent holes are. Emailed the company pictures in hopes of a replacement and they did not respond. Would consider a better review if they would consider some customer service

Hey, so you’re probably thinking this couch looks like a great deal! I thought the same. I purchased this couch recently, and had it arrive A DAY earlier than what amazon was showing for expected delivery ( which is great!). It took me an hour or two max to assemble, and the instruction manual was easy enough to follow.

Let me start out by saying that I was thrilled with the look and quality of the first Rivet couch I received back in May, the 74in loveseat. I eagerly awaited the day when the 86 in couch would be back in stock as it went out of stock for several months and ordered the larger couch as soon as it became available.

DO NOT BUY THIS COUCH. it is a piece of poop garbage trash couch. It does not look like the picture, it looks way crappier in person. The color isn’t so much chocolate but rather more of a doodoo brown. It’s simple enough to put together but it’s terribly uncomfortable. Take your $400 and use it on something that’s worth it.

BUYER BEWARE . I liked the fact that this chair has a small footprint when not reclined and put it together easily today.
I didnt recline it initially , but tonight I was watching tv and decided to recline it. Fully reclined I was sitting there and all of a sudden my feet are in the air and I am upside down , thrown into the corner wall.

Although I did a lot of reading through the many product reviews before purchasing this product, I was lured by the mainly positive ratings and the statements about how happy some users are with this chair.

The chair started out perfect. Fitted all our needs. A comfortable chair for everyday and a bed for the rare occasion we had a over night guest. After two weeks the chair will no longer locks, on one side, in the up right sitting position.
Update: Both of the hinges have pulled their screws out of the plywood.

[[VIDEOID:3b5db8006e9b951aba639f87e78828eb]] I bought this for my granddaughter for her birthday in November. She was playing near it, tripped and fell into the side of the chair. She had a huge bruise from the wood and she was bleeding from a cut on her head. So we inspected the chair and found a SCREW had punctured the fabric!! A SCREW!!!

My wife and I bought a new couch just a couple of months ago through Amazon, sourced by Flash Furniture. The couch is a 3-piece sectional, Jessa Place Sectional Sofa, Pewter Fabric. It is large, attractive, and comfortable. But this particular couch could not hold my weight; I weigh 195 pounds.

The first time the couch arrived, it had a huge gash from a knife or box cutter. The manufacturer replaced it but the replacement came with significant surface damage, covered in mold, and rust.

Let me just start off by saying you get what you pay for. This futon is VERY cheaply made in China and looks nicer than it is. It’s VERY firm and not comfortable at all and it’s a foam cushioning that will eventually just deform.
Now.. when I received the box it was huge - which I expected but it was SUPER GLUED (basically) shut.

We just got our sectional yesterday and we already love it so much! We were so wary about buying furniture before seeing/feeling it but our risk paid off! It took about a week to get here (California to Virginia) and shipping was very painless!

Don’t buy. Main support beam cracked within a week. They would only take a return if I could ship it back in the box, which I had disposed of. Sellers didn’t seem to understand English very well, so there was a communication barrier making the whole process very frustrating. Purchasing a new box would cost me $50, making the return not worthwhile.

UPDATE 3: Amazon to the rescue. They accepted my return. Pro tip: Amazon is really good at responding via their social media accounts.
UPDATE: 2 months later, the zipper on one of the (non-removable) cushion covers split so the filling is visible.

I bought this futon last week and would like to share the following
Lots of wrong description
1. Sofa Bed w/ 6" Mattress - The fact: There is hardly 2" mattress
2. Soft and durable microfiber cover designed for your comfort - The fact - As hard as a rock
3.
