Nico Sofa Not As Expected

I ordered a Nico Sofa from this store. I had to wait 4 months to get the sofa. I was hoping this would be an indication of how good the sofa was going to be. The customer service was ok and the delivery was good (although expensive). The quality of the sofa however leaves to be desired. I had my previous sofa for 10 years and it still looked like new when I decided to replace it. It had maintained its shape perfectly. The Nico Sofa does not maintain its shape well. It's already looking saggy on one side (the pillow you sit on and the arm pillow). The fabric is also not great quality, as it pills and snags very easily. I am already staring to look into how much it would be to get it slipcovered or something, which I shouldn't be doing after only 5 months. I don't see this lasting 10 years like my previous sofa did, and I wish I had purchased something else. I should add it's been used 99% by only one person, so it hasn't even been subjected to a lot of wear or heavy weight. It is a firm sofa when you sit on it. Not super comfortable, but my main disappointment is with the shape (due to the filling they used) and fabric quality, especially given the price I paid.

Hi IM,

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your received Nico Sofa. As this was a custom order during our extended holiday season the lead time was 14-20 weeks as stated at purchase, so we're happy to see that it was delivered within 17 weeks! We craft our sofas to have a medium firmness, so that they have the perfect balance between comfort and support. For the Nico this means that the side and seat cushions are made from three layers of eco-friendly high-density foam which are rebound sponge, memory foam, and porous sponge. This is then topped with premium 100% goose down. Due to this construction there is some give to the cushions and they aren't meant to hold a firm shape at all times, but can be fluffed to re-distribute the down. We're sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied with the fabric. While some initial pilling can occur with wear we always encourage our customers to contact us with photos if they feel something is not right. In every other way we hope you are enjoying your sofa, and we welcome any further questions or feedback 7 days a week at customercare@roveconcepts.com.


All the Best,

Rove Concepts Team
