I saw an almost identical sofa at Crate and Barrel which I fell in love with. I was ready to pay $3000+, but I thought first I'd do some research online. When I found this poly and bark essex Chesterfield style sofa, I was a little hesitant since the price was kind of low and there weren't any reviews. But for the price savings, I figured I'd take the gamble - AND I'M GLAD I DID. This sofa is fantastic! Really, I can't believe the quality of this thing for what I paid - it's better than the ones I saw at some brand name stores! The leather feels great and you can tell it's real leather (unlike some sofas where it's hard to tell if it's plether or the real thing), and the cushioning is perfect, just the right balance of soft and firm. For anyone on the fence about this item, go for it. You won't regret it. Happy hunting!

Sofa is just what I wanted, firm yet really comfortable. The advantage of a low backed sofa is you can rest your arms across the back. The leather feels good and mine is in a rich chocolate brown. It was easy to put the legs on and arrived in perfect condition.

Ok, I was a bit hesitant about ordering a sofa online. I prefer to see, sit, and feel what I'm going to purchase. I took a chance with Poly & Bark after reading many of the reviews. I just received my sofa today after only 2 weeks (Great job P&B). I have to admit, I was and am not disappointed at all. It is perfect in y place and goes well with everything else. The leather is fine and the little details on the legs are just right. The delivery guys from XPO did a great job of handling the sofa for me. I am totally grateful, appreciative, and thankful for the sofa, Poly & Bark, and XPO. Thank you, everyone.

Super happy with my new Essex couch! Great look at a great price. Seems comfy but we are only using it in a living room that doesn’t get heavy use. Shipping and delivery experience was great, no issues whatsoever. After debating for months, I’m so glad I went ahead and bought this!

Pretty much exactly what I was looking for at a really good price. Zero complaints with shipping+handling (for free, especially), and sofa appears to be of pretty decent quality. I've been lounging on this thing daily and nightly for around 2 months now during Covid days, so it is getting plenty of use. I haven't found one thing about it that feels cheap or poorly constructed. Semi-Aniline (I got the midnight blue) Leather appears to be of pretty decent quality. Doesn't scratch up nearly as much as I was anticipating, and the darker color hides what it takes on. I try to switch around the cushions (they have a bottom, but can be moved around left to right) fairly regularly to keep any wear from excess use taking place on any one cushion. Definitely recommend Poly & Bark. I am actually waiting around for a few different things to replenish inventory, so I can purchase through P&B again.
