A great modular sofa! (RUBIK III 5 Seats with 2 Ottomans & Corner & Console)
We decided to renovate our living room, and we wanted a modular sofa. We had a previous modular sofa from All Form, and while nice, it is uncomfortable for shorter people to sit in since the seats are so deep. I did a ton of research into modular sofas, and wanted one that had a console in it. Out of all the options I looked at, I felt the Linsy Home Rubik III fit our needs the best.
We had our room measured for new carpet on a Thursday morning, and I decided to order the furniture that evening, thinking it would be a couple of weeks before I received it. Boy, was I wrong! I received an email on Friday, telling me I had a deliver coming on Monday, and sure enough, 80% of the order arrived Monday afternoon! The rest of the items all arrived by Thursday. (I had also purchased a complete set of replacement covers, and that was the majority of the other items) Only 2 boxes had visible damage to them, one an ottoman, but there was no damage to the unit itself, and the other was the console, but it appeared to have no damage either. (side note: there were about 10-12 loose small ball bearings in the box, which I assume came from the drawer slides of the console, but the drawer appears to be functioning normally) All the hardware was in each box as advertised.
After the carpet was installed, I decided I would start putting a few pieces together that evening, but it was honestly so easy to assemble, I was able to do the complete set (minus the ottomans, which is why they are not in the pictures) in a couple of hours. I expected it to take way longer, but the brackets in each unit were already installed (just check to make sure they are tight), and I did not have to open the cushions and put the covers on, like the directions on site said. Definitely a bonus there!
We purchased the velvet fabric in Slate Gray, but the color is darker that what it looks like on the website. It was not a big deal to us, as we quite like the color.
The only "con" I have at the moment is that the ottomans are very hard to slide across carpet. I solved that by buying some 2 inch casters on Amazon, and they move nicely now!)
There have been some complaints about the ottoman cushions sliding off easily (the instructions give you directions for using Velcro tape) but I really don't find it an issue, it does not slide around just by moving your feet around on it, only when I try to move it without the casters)
Things we love:
The velvet fabric feels really nice!
The ability to wash all the covers
The seats are not extremely deep. You can sit up comfortably with your feet on the floor
While the cushions are firm, they are VERY comfortable! We really enjoy the feel of sitting on them
The amount of storage is insane!
The quality of materials appears to be top notch to me!
The versatility of being able to arrange it however we see fit
Overall, buying a sofa sight unseen is freaking scary! I did a lot of research, read and viewed a ton of reviews, and did a lot of comparisons among the 4-5 brands we were looking at.
We are VERY happy with our purchase, and plan to spend many years with it! Thanks Linsy Home!
