Melrose Reversible Chaise Sofa

Bought this in stone. It’s extremely comfortable, including the pull out bed. I had a foam topper (1inch) from my futon that I added to the mattress and was able to fold it up with the mattress into the couch, which is great. I don’t think it needs a topper, I only added it because I had it. I’ve already spilt some tea on the couch and was surprised to see that the tea just wiped right off! The arms are very stable and my laptop sits on them easily. And yet, they are also very comfortable. I can lay down with my head on the arm rest and be super comfortable. I also purchased a spare “short” cushion so that I can convert the couch from a section to a regular sofa at any time. I’ve a small apartment and need the room for a tree during Xmas, so I really appreciate the versatility of this couch. There was some trouble with the delivery even though I gave customer service the door and hallway dimensions. I’d forgotten to account for the fact that the hallway to my apartment is curved. Fortunately, the delivery people were amazing. They found a creative approach and got it in without having to remove the door.

I do think there is some room for improvement. For one, it seems like a wasted opportunity not to have storage in the chaise. I wonder if the arms could also be used for storage without compromising their comfort and look. It would also be very helpful if there was an option to tie or clip the cushions and chaise in place. They have a tendency to slowly sneak out on you. I…

I decided to purchase this couch as a major upgrade from my first apartment couch (which was a cheap purchase with way overstuffed, dense cushions). I reviewed many brands and couches over several months before I settled on this one. I am blown away with the quality of this couch, especially for its cost! The peacock velvet is an exquisite color, soft, durable, and easy to clean. My dog's golden hair does not show up unless you look closely at the cushions, but yet it is also very easy to vacuum off! The build seems quite durable and heavy (180 lbs I think). The chaise part is not attached to the rest of the couch, but it does not shift at all. I have taken quite a few naps on my couch already :-). It is amazingly comfortable. The cushions are firm but not too dense, so I think they will hold up for quite some time. There are so many features that make this couch such a treasure, such as the ability to flip all cushions and the back rest cushions are perfectly cushy and do not slide forward because there is a space to hold them. Everyday when I pass by my new couch, I marvel at it. This brand's custom couches are the best deal that I've seen!

As a fair warning, the white glove delivery service company has terrible reviews and might give you a hard time when arranging for a delivery time (i.e. forgetting or missing the scheduled delivery dates, forcing you to reschedule sometimes multiple times)....so keep that in mind if you're not sure if the $99 shipping would be worth it…
