Modway Engage Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Fabric Sofa in Gray

I'm not sure what these individuals are talking about with the negative reviews. I've slept on this couch many nights. the back is stiff but, nothing a few throw pillows can't solve. It's looks excellent in my loft. I bought the dark grey and the matching ottoman.

I love Love, Love ,Love, Love, this sofa - what can I say I Love Love, Love this sofa - prefect for my new mid-century mod themed living room and comfortable and affordable and it looks great - I could go on but I will stop - don't worry it will look great not matter what your style is -

Very easy to put together and it does look nice. BUT if you plan to use it regularly (vs more just for looks) I absolutely DO NOT recommend. There are no back cushions, the back rest portion is very low and it is so so so stiff. We ordered it for our living room and regret it. I hate sitting on it no matter how many pillows I use, couldn’t be more uncomfortable.

This couch looks very nice. The upholstery is heavy, seems durable, and in general the couch seems well made. As others have mentioned, the cushions are very hard. However, to me the strangest thing was just how high this sofa is. I'm 6', and my legs barely touch the ground when I'm sitting in it. The legs are long, which is odd for a mid century design. I plan on cutting a few inches off the legs once I work up the nerve to do it. Other then the height and the stiffness of the cushions, I'm very happy with this purchase. However, I'm using this in a room that doesn't get used very often, so I was concerned with esthetics more than comfort. If you're looking for a comfy couch to sit on while watching TV for hours, I wouldn't recommend this one.

This sofa looks as great as it's pictures and really completes my room with that Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Unfortunately, the sofa is horribly uncomfortable. I mean it is like, unusably uncomfortable. But I look at this sofa and man it really is beautiful, so I figured I could fix the comfort side of things and have a solid comfortable sofa that fits my aesthetic. I have split this review into a few sections. Here we go: Why it is uncomfortable: to start with the seating level (height from floor to top of cushion) measures a whopping 20"! You might ask, is that a big deal? I will tell you - it is a big F#*! deal. To compare most sofas are 17 to 18 inches tall. You might also ask "Well, doesn't the foam cushion sink down a few inches when you sit on it? No! No, it doesn't. It doesn't move. It is softer than wood but has about the same give. I plan on cutting mine into fist size pieces and making stress balls out of it. .... So you sit down and you are 20" off the ground, now it gets really fun, or dumb, or just poorly designed. The seat cushion is 24" deep and meets the back support at a right angle. This means that if you were to sit down and scoot all the way back, first you will appear to be in an uncomfortable position (you are) second the position you are in will make you want to lift your legs higher, but guess what. you can't. Do you want to know why? Because you f#@! feet don't touch the floor. I am of average height (5'10") and my feet do not touch the floor when sitting all the way back on this torcher couch. So what do you do now? You have the couch/sofa of your aesthetic dreams but you can't sit on it without losing your mind. Go back to Amazon (or whatever) and start looking for some throw pillows. You're going to need a lot of them. Get some 20x20 some 16x16 and some 12x20 pillows. At least two of each. Next, do a search for "memory foam for cushions high density" and pick something at least 80' long and 24" wide. I would recommend 5" thick. Look for this number in the description 44ILD Firm. Don't be scared by the "Firm" description, it is nice and soft. Also, get some Upholstery Batting to fill in the last inch and make the new cushions fill out the covers. BTW the cushion covers and upholstery are really well constructed and have a 3.5-star feel. You will also need a utility blade or razor blade to cut the foam. Don't use scissors ... just trust me, the razor is way easier. Now cut the foam to fit, cover the foam with the batting and shove them into the cushion covers. Scatter the pillows around and have a much-deserved seat. Is it comfortable? Well, it is way better than is was and only cost about $100 - $150 in supplies. Not bad! Okay, now for the real deal. This is going to get a little hard so if your happy at this point, just stop reading. I am (as you may have guessed) still not as comfortable as I want to be on this beauty yet. The next step for me will be to flip the sofa over and remove the feet. I think you might know where I am heading with this. First, do you have a compound miter saw? I do. I also like to fix and build things so this might not be for everyone. On the flip side if you were looking for a good reason to buy a compound miter saw, well now you have one. The plan is to take about an inch off of each foot. (the sofa is still too high) I am going to set up a jig to help make each cut the same. I have not finished this part yet, I plan to do it this week and will update the review. On the plus side, the foot construction for the sofa is a quality design in that they are all identical. Cool, right! Okay, more to come... To sum this up: 5 stars for the aesthetic look (mid-century modern) I love how this sofa looks. Just a beaut Clark. 1 star for comfort. Truly unusably torturously uncomfortable. (this is not a joke, you will be disappointed) 3.5 stars for the overall construction. The quality construction was the reason I decided to augment this sofa into a usable piece of furniture/art instead of returning it. So, if you don't want to fix a brand new purchase to make it usable DON'T buy this sofa. If like me the $750 price tag and the gorgeous mid-century aesthetic are what interested you and you are good at fixing stuff then pull the trigger now. You have your next project and a reason to buy that compound miter saw you have been thinking about. Plus throw pillows are really fun. I mean pillow fights are just the beginning. You can get all kinds of covers for them. You can get a print of your favorite animal, or person, or whatever on a custom "magic" pillow. You can make a theme sofa like Star Wars or a holiday sofa full of autumnal images. Do you like the beach? You can cover all those pillows in shells and sea-horses. The options are limitless. I think there is even an AI that combines the most searched images into an algorithm and prints custom covers. Roll the dice y'all. But here's the thing, you are going to need throw pillows, lots of them. Peace. -EchoArk

The couch is absolutely beautiful. The color was about 98% correct. Has a middle support that is not shown in photographs, so the center of the couch IS supported. The couch is very long, which is great. I have pets and their hair cleans off of it easy, but it does snag from sharp nails. There were a few scuffs on the woodwork, but we planned to sand it and stain it a different color anyway.

Love the look! I have had the chair and ottoman for several weeks and they are very comfy. The gray and blue combo looks great together!

Couch is honestly great for what it is and the price is unbeatable. Something that looks as asthetically pleasing and is somewhat comfortable would be north of $2,000, but with the pricetag of around $800 it's great. I wish the pads were a little bit more sturdy - having mine for about 2 months the pads are sinking a bit towards the ceter (where my girlfriend and I always sit), but it's stiill great. Would buy again.
