I've been shopping endlessly for a sofa both in person in various retails stores as well as online. When I revisited Rove Concepts and saw the Nico sofa in solstice velvet (an amazing and unique color) I had little hesitation in placing my order even thought it broke my rule of having to sit and lie on a sofa before purchasing. The online video showing the man sit down on the sofa helped me get over my concern about not having personally tried the product. As it was the last day of the July 4th promo I acted quickly and while I have to wait a few months for the piece to come in I'm sure I'll be delighted when it arrives.
