Christopher Knight Home GDFStudio Melaina Tufted Chesterfield Velvet Loveseat with Scrolled Arms, BlackBerry and Dark Brown

I am a photographer and I purchased this for the purpose of photo shoots. I often get these smaller sofas for photo shoots but I am at times surprised by how different the actual sofa look from their product photos. And usually it is too cumbersome to return them. I spent more than I usually do on this one but I thought that if it looked as good as it looks in its product pictures then it would be worth it. All the positive user reviews helped sway me to "buy it now"Wow! This is every bit as beautiful in person as it is here in its product shots. I've added a couple of photos of my own so you can see it in action. Lush and velvety for sure. And it is a good velvet, not the kind that shows flaws from the outset. The button tufts seem secure which is always a question with this sort of upholstery. And the riveted studs are well in and not showing signed of coming off. Keep in mind I've owned this for 3 weeks and used it in 2 photo shoots.Because it is for photo shoots and not every day seating, I can't speak to how well it will hold up. It seems sturdy but probably not sturdy enough to have kids jumping on it. It is comfortable enough for what it is but it shouldn't be expected to me a lounging cuddly sofa. That was never its intention. Definitely a repro piece designed to give you that decorator touch. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it here. Then it was just a matter of which color to go with. I was torn between purple, green and grey.Assembly was a breeze. It took me working by myself maybe 15 minutes to get the legs on and then I just popped this right side up and we were good to go.BOTTOM LINE: If you are looking for a lush accent piece to complement your home, I think this would do quite well. I am all about mixing styles and periods. Eclectic wonderful furniture that plays well together. I think this piece would do really well in myriad settings.

I was looking for something for my speak easy inspired sitting room and this was a great addition to the space. It looks great!

beautiful, exactly what i hoped it would be-- a little place to sit in the corner of my bedroom. it IS small, so it's only going to ever be comfortable-ish. also, it is pretty slippery but like, it's velvet so no surprise there. and it IS super lightweight, so it does feel like it should have cost like $100 less. that being said... it makes a statement, which is something kinda hard to find without paying out the nose. either way, it arrived in perfect condition, with no weird smells, and was super easy to put together. i think it might be my most prized possession.

So let me start off by saying that the seller lies about the dimensions and weight of the package, I'm assuming to have to pay less on shipping. Because of this, UPS held onto the package for an extra FOUR DAYS before delivering it. The couch itself is beautiful, but super flimsy. It's just for show, not for actually sitting in it. I'm 130 lbs, and leaning against the back made things start to crack inside.If you can wait an extra week and are only using the couch as a decoration, go for it. If not, ehhhh....The massive delay in receiving it was incredibly inconvenient for me, because I had a photoshoot dependent on this couch and had to reschedule TWICE because of it. So it cost me even more money than the $400 it's listed for.

Even though I took the measurements before purchase I was surprised at how small this actually is. I don't think they should call this a loveseat /couch! It's in no way a couch & not actually a loveseat more like an oversized chair. The 'Velvet is just a step up from microfiber. The color is beautiful, the comfort is just okay. I have a small family who visit from time to time, no children.So I am going keep these I ordered 2, they look good & go nicely w/my end tables & gray rocker recliner. So with little use, they will be just fine. Oh I have to mention delivery is left on the porch in the rain & snow they don't even knock. I am elderly with health limitations, yet I was able to slide this into my house & assemble it. It is very light weight

This is listed as a loveseat & I guess it could be a loveseat for 2 small people. But I feel like it's more of an oversized chair, it's definitely on the petite side, which I was expecting from the dimensions listed. The color is exactly as pictured: a deep dark purple, & the velvet material is so soft. I can't say how durable it is since I've only had it a week. I'm redecorating a spare bedroom to be my home office, & only I will sit in it, so it doesn't need to be heavy duty. But if you're looking for something that will withstand high traffic or kids, this might not be the one for you. It was super easy to assemble: all you do is screw on the legs (legs are shipped inside a zippered pocket on the underside of the loveseat). It's lightweight enough that we had no trouble carrying it upstairs. I think it looks fabulous & accessorized it with teal velvet pillows and a teal velvet ottoman also from Christopher Knight Home. The hardest part of this purchase was trying to decide which color to buy.

I bought this for my living room, I have a small home. It is absolutely stunning. A little on the firm side but nothing a couple throw pillows didn't fix. Not quite as deep as i needed to curl up and read so I use a foot stool. The material is so soft. And it Feels very sturdy. It is light so I put a rug under it to prevent sliding. Me and my two rambunctious grandchildren fit comfortably. Definitely adds an air of luxury.

Exactly as pictured, comfortable and easy to assemble!
