Awesome Avec
I found my perfect sofa for my rehab'd modern condo - this has the simple ultra-modern look I was going for and it's so comfortable!!! The material is real durable too. The delivery guys just screwed on the four legs and it was ready to go. Perfect!!!

WONDERFULL SOFA
First time been at the store. Love it, love it, love it. It has a very clean line and modern look. The fabric has great texture. Hoping has more varietes of colors, different textures, and styles like sectional to choose from. Will recomend to family and friends about this product.

Awesome Sofa
Saw this in the store and loved it immediately! Great look. Perfect depth. Wonderful material.
I only wish it had more modern legs on it instead of the metal pegs it had. But you can hardly see them anyways.

Love this sofa!
Such a great sofa! Comfortable and seats 3-4 adults but at the same time, doesn't take up a ton of space. Looks really clean and modern.

Snazzy couch, but some complaints
I agree with what everyone has said about this couch. It's really cool and retro-looking, it's long enough to fit 3-4 people, and the tweed does keep it from looking too bulky like a solid color might.
However, I agree with ChicagoAdam that the cushions do show wear rather quickly. I've had the couch for 2 months and I am noticing the sagging in the cushions and rippling/bubbling of the fabric.
All in all, I do really like the couch though it is a bit shallow to comfortably lay down with someone. But it's not impossible!

great looking, nice size
This is a great sofa. It is exactly the size and style we were looking for. The only negative is that it's not super comfortable but we are using it in our formal living room so that's fine.

Really Comfortable, Really Sexy
I LOVE my new couch. It's a really beautiful addition to my room, it really makes the space. I have a very mad men inspired living room and the tufted back and boxed shaped are perfectly 50s/60s yet still very contemporary.
I also love the color, the tweed gives the grey a lot of depth so it doesn't feel flat at all and makes it easy to match to accent colors.

Fantastic couch
I had original purchased a couch from another retailer, similar in design but lacking all of the charisma and style of this couch. When I saw this in the store, I knew I had to correct my original error. Luckily, the other retailer had a return policy that I was still covered by, and I was able to make the change.
I am so happy with my decision to switch to the Avec Tweed Sofa. It has great style and makes a statement to everyone who sees it. It is surprisingly comfortable, given its lack of back or side cushions. The high arms are very strong and supportive, making the corners perfect for leaning into while watching TV. The high back is nice for those that like to lean back on their couches. The tweed fabric is fun and subtle - not overpowering, so it should be easy to match with other fabrics and patterns.
I have seen a couple reviews commenting about the seat cushions buckling or the fabric stretching. I have had my couch since August and it's gotten its fair share of use, and I'd have to disagree. The areas that are used the most have gotten some small ripples over time, but nothing that removing the cushion and fluffing it up again hasn't fixed. I actually just did this last night, and it looks as great as the day I received it again!
I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Gorgeous Retro Sofa
When I saw this sofa, I fell in love! I was planning on another sofa from another store and was just searching for throw pillows on CB2. When I saw this sofa I said, "This changes everything!" And it certainly did! I purchased the sofa, throw pillows, white leather chairs and red pebble rug and I couldn't be happier with everything! I was nervous about purchasing it without seeing in person but am certainly glad I did!! It is very high quality and gives my home a modern retro 50's look. I loved it so much I shipped it to my new home in Italy!

Great Look, Questionable Quality/Cushions
Really like the look of this couch but disappointed in the cushions. From the moment we got it (Nov 2011) waves/wrinkles started to appear on the cushions. With a high quality couch from CB2, you'd expect this not to happen. I'm guessing the material is stretching a bit.

Sleak, functional and will have forever!
Love, Love, Love this couch! We'll own this couch for a long while. Delivery was smooth and easy. Looks great in our small apartment. Cushions were pretty firm at first, though didn't take long to break in (to aid the breaking in process I suggest laying cushions on floor, clover with a blanket and walking on--another person suggested this and it helped us).

not for us
I am sorry but this sofa is extremely over prized and beyond ugly.If you are pointing on extremely simple design then the focus should be directed on masculine fabric in high quality--this is just under average, boring kind of tweed.Even no mention if it is wool or some kind o nova days replica.I am confident my husband can make this "box" looking seat on his own.I shop at CB2--but this one is no no by all means.Maybe next time.....

Awesome Sofa
We recently renovated our home and got some new furniture to tie in with our old pieces. This sofa elevated our whole living room. It is stylish and comfortable and we couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Great sofa
This sofa is firm yet super comfortable. Very sleek and stylish. I purchased the pillows pictured with it and they are a lovely addition as well.

Great and fashionable sofa!
We go this sofa for our 600 sq ft. 1BR last month and we love it. Fits great in the apartment. Very comfortable with the perfect depth. Great lines, and very fashionable. We got many complements during our house warming. We highly recommend.

love this sofa
Great retro style sofa. Sturdy frame and looks great in our living room!

totally great
I had been eyeing the avec pewter for months, and when the tweed came out, was happy I waited. Great neutral that leans gray or brown depending on what you have with it. We also got the tangerine parlour chair and I love the way our living room has come together. Sofa is comfy, the only weird thing is it squeaks when we sit on it -- think it's the feet on the hardwood floor. Hides dog hair well!

great sofa
Have had the sofa for a few weeks and am very happy with the purchase. The retro styling and tweed upholstery work well in my 1930's bungalow. The seating area is really wide - could probably accommodate four typically-sized adults. Note that the swatch looked more brown-ish in color to me but in-person the sofa appears as it does on the website (i.e., predominantly gray). Delivery was quick and problem-free.

Awesome, but not really
First off, I got this couch in poly velvet charcoal. It's beautiful, solid, everything you would want. Not deep enough to snuggle with someone else, but that's a part of it's sexy form, so you have to give up something. My two big beefs are that the fabric sort of deforms/stretches just from sitting on it..and that the stitching in one of the divots actually started coming out a couple weeks after I got it. :( We don't even sit in that section of the couch!
