![]() ![]() This is not that couch, but this isn’t an uncomfortable couch either. I’ve sat on couches that you sink into and never want to leave. Have I sat on more comfortable couches? Yes. I’m sitting on it right now while writing this blog post. Is the Rivet Andrews Leather Sofa comfortable? Yes. I’ll admit that was as tricky as it sounded and took me quite a few awkward maneuvers, but eventually I was able to unbox the sofa and remove the protective padding without breaking my back. I was so excited to see what it looked like that I decided to try and get the sofa out of the box by myself. Two guys unloaded the couch and put it in the room of my choice. Our delivery person called me to say he was able to deliver my sofa earlier in the day, which worked out fine for me. It goes without saying, you need to be home to accept the delivery.

Amazon can deliver an in-stock sofa in about a week. That meant I needed to find a sofa that was not quite so budget-busting and able to be delivered relatively soon. It should be noted that many retailers carry versions of their sofas that can be delivered in 2 – 4 weeks. We also had zero soft surfaces to sit on besides our beds when we moved home, so waiting three months for a sofa to be built and delivered was also not ideal. However, we had just made a costly international move back home to the United States and dropping thousands of dollars on a sofa was not in the budget. My first choice was a sofa from either Article (most similar in price and features), West Elm (more expensive) or Pottery Barn (more expensive). The Amazon Rivet Andrews Leather Sofa was not my first choice.
