I am very particular about finishing, and I inspected the sofa closely. The sanding is perfect; there are no rough patches or sharp corners. The varnish is applied evenly. Even the inside of the drawers is finished well. It shows that the brand cares about quality craftsmanship.
I was worried the side shelves might be flimsy, but they are thick solid wood. I have placed a heavy ceramic pot on the bottom shelf, and it holds it perfectly. It�s great for displaying decor items. It adds so much character to the sofa.
As a neat freak, I love that this sofa has legs and isn't flush with the floor. It makes sweeping and mopping underneath so easy. Dust doesn't accumulate there. It�s a practical design choice that makes housekeeping much easier.
The armrests are solid blocks of wood. They feel so good to touch. It gives a very substantial feel to the sofa. You can feel the quality every time you sit down.
The seat doesn't leave a permanent dent when you get up. The foam springs back. It feels like 40-density foam. It�s comfortable but supportive. No sagging issues even after 6 months of use.
