Modway Engage Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Fabric Sofa in Gray

We love this sofa! It was quite firm at first, but it has broken in nicely after a few months of use. People comment on how nice it fits in our Mid Century Coastal living room (in progress). The color is beautiful and the fabric has been durable so far.The back cushion is too firm, so be ready to add throw pillows. And it is a little high compared to actual MCM furniture. An Ikea Stockholm coffee table is the right size to go with this sofa.

New apartment needed a new furniture. I had my eyes set on this model made by Modway. NOTE: this couch is sold under a number of parent brands across the internet and in some instances different model names. You can find it at the cheapest cost on Amazon and at ridiculously inflated prices at specialty stores. Assembly was super easy, just attaching the legs.The couch looks beautiful for sure. The deep blue is great and the fabric has a nice texture. That being said because of the weave it is easy for it to collect dirt, particals, etc inside the weave so I'd say expect to put a little bit of effort into keeping it clean. I agree with other reviewers that the couch is very firm. I wouldn't call it uncomfortable but I also tend to lean more towards form over function and might be a bit biased because of how good the couch looks. If you want a plush couch to sink into this is not going to meet those standards. The seat is extremely firm and the back rest is even more so with very little cushion. Again, I don't mind as I don't spend a ton of time on my couch.It's nice and long for a adult over 6' to lie down on to watch a movie and could hold two people lying down together doing the same. Definitely plan on getting pillows for the ends to soften the blow to your head if you want to recline and watch TV.Again, I'm not typically in my taste for couches—I find this one to be a great value for the cost, with spot on style with a bit of sacrifice in regards to overall comfort.

overall, I really love the couch. I live alone in a studio, so for just me or one other person to lay and spread out on, it is perfect. It is a very firm couch, but not where you would think. The seat is comfortable, firm but good cushion. Its the back that is really really hard. I still love the couch, but you really need pillows to make it comfortable for your back. And even then, I'd say laying on the couch, or having your legs tucked is the only way to be comfy on it. Sitting on it normally, even with cushions, is not comfortable. Yet, I still love it. Easy install, only thing you need to do is put the legs on. Fit through the doorway, and just looks really nice.

I purchased a pair - one Teal, one Azure. Both advertised as free delivery. The boxing/packaging was great, attaching the legs were easy and I like the kangaroo pouch underneath for the shipping cover and other secrets. The upholstery fabric does like to attract tiny little cotton balls - I use packaging tape from USPS to remove when necessary. I read the other reviews, did my measuring and am overall very happy with them. I am 5'7" and can fully stretch out and take a nap, and yes, they are firm.The Azure sofa was shipped from somewhere in California and the Teal sofa was shipped from somewhere in New Jersey. The California Azure was exactly as described.The seating on the New Jersey Teal is not nearly as firm as the California Azure. The two cushions are off from one another in size, so the middle button seam coming down the back of the sofa doesn't match the gap between the cushions and the stitching is a bit off in places. The foam used in the cushions is softer, and there is now a noticeable depression in the cushion. The California Azure is still very firm. When the California Azure arrived, one skinny dude (the driver) with a dolly got it up all 40 steps to my 3rd floor unit via the back stairs all by himself and in less than 10 minutes. He waved off my gratuity attempt with a 'have a nice day'. No good deed goes unpunished.When the New Jersey Teal arrived, I was grateful that my friend from Brooklyn was here to help me understand the situation. The drivers of the truck, I guess, drove all the way out here, spoke very little English, but enough to let me know that they were charging me X number of dollars per step to deliver up to my unit, amounting to an easy Ben Franklin apiece, otherwise they would drop it in the alley right where they were. I said fine. My friend from Brooklyn, explained what was happening to me as he apparently has seen this before, told the drivers that they were by contract obligated to get it inside the building. The two of them struggled to get it in the building, and my friend from Brooklyn and I carried it up the rest of the way. Accented with bright yellow and fuchsia pillows, they look great.
