I’ve had my justifiable share of gigantic packing containers arriving at my entrance door. It’s the character of my job. However regardless of checking the size, and regardless of making an attempt to brace myself, nothing may have ready me for the supply of the Cozey Ciello XL Sofa.
This couch is big. Dimensions fluctuate by configuration (extra on that later), however mine is available in at 148 x 68.5 x 26.8 inches—and that’s with out the elective storage ottoman. Every part of the sofa arrives in its personal field, and mine had so many who I used to be capable of totally lie down on high of the packing containers.
A bit of furnishings this large is sure to come back with some quirks, however total, the Cozey Ciello XL is completely high quality—supplied it’s what you’re searching for within the first place.
Trendy and Modular
One of many largest attracts of this sofa is its customizability. It’s obtainable in three efficiency cloth colours and two chenille colours. I examined the couch within the Grey efficiency cloth for just a little underneath two months. You possibly can order a swatch guide free of charge to determine which cloth you need.

I like to recommend having a associate or buddy aid you arrange the couch. When you get into the groove, the sofa is very easy to assemble—even simpler than some smaller couch-in-box setups that I’ve tried. The covers and {hardware} ship contained in the hole seat, backrest, or armrest. We configured our couch and assembled it piece by piece, then snapped the items collectively. It may be just a little difficult to line up the brackets completely when seating all the things into place, however take your time and you have to be high quality. Simply be ready to interrupt down a LOT of cardboard afterward.
The efficiency cloth is ok. It feels a bit scratchy, nevertheless it’s simple to wash, and the detachable cushions imply you’ll be able to type of wash your sofa within the washer. The sofa didn’t have an offensive scent, and it was fairly snug proper from the bounce. Which brings me to my subsequent level—precisely how comfortable is it?
Okay-est Nap of My Life
I’m a clumsy sitter. I’m always pretzel-ing my physique, draping my limbs over furnishings, and folding my legs up as I shift in my seat. The Cozey Ciello XL made this concurrently very simple and really troublesome.
The seats of the sofa themselves are nice, if a bit crinkly-sounding. They’re deep and comfy, supplied you sit within the seat itself and never throughout the sting of two of them (by which case the inflexible construction beneath you’ll make it really feel such as you’re being cut up in two). Except you’re exceptionally tall, for those who scoot all the best way again, your legs and/or ft will dangle. The again cushions go away rather a lot to be desired. The again of the sofa and the arms are each very boxy and low, so while you scoot again and try to throw an arm over the again of the couch, it feels a bit awkward. The seat cushions additionally have a tendency to slip ahead, away from the again cushions, and the again cushions and arm cushions don’t like to remain in place. Which means I spent numerous time rearranging the couch as an alternative of simply sitting on it. This identical design situation means while you’re sitting side-by-side, you find yourself sinking into the individual sitting subsequent to you. There’s greater than sufficient room for 2 individuals to sit down at reverse ends of the couch, however once more—I ought to be capable of sit subsequent to someone else with out invading their private house.
