The Luna Sofa is a modern take on a classic Danish design. Its beautifully simple shape is upholstered with a comfortable and versatile cotton bend fabric. Button tufting on the back cushions gives the sofa a retro feel. The solid wooden frame and legs give it a sturdy, confident stance. Luna's removable back and bottom cushions sit atop an upholstered well-tailored deck.

Great Mid Century Modern Piece The sofa is stylish, beautiful, sturdy. I would complement a variety of decor schemes, but looks especially great in my mid-century modern living room. Originally the wrong color was sent. Of course, I was not pleased, but the customer service folks at Wayfair, specifically Dan, immediately moved to correct the error. Dan was friendly, helpful, and ultimately effective as I received the correct sofa with absolutely no hassle. |

Luna couch It's great. Very comfortable. Like the style. Wish I had gone with the lighter finish on the legs, but that was my design fault. Love it. |

cracked leg after a year I love this sofa. It's beautiful and simple. The guys who delivered it just about a year ago were professional and on time. BUT, the sofa's right leg has started to CRACK. I've never jumped on the sofa. I (nor anyone who's happened to been in my home) is overweight, putting undue pressure on the sofa legs. There is no good reason the leg should be cracking off. I'm really disappointed. |

love this sofa. This Sofa has been great so far. The fabric is soft and quite comfortable for such a modern design. We ordered this sofa and within two weeks it was at our door. What we thought was going to be a shipping company turned out to actually be Edgar Blazona the owner and designer of the company TrueModern. He helped me carry it in all the way to the living room. He even asked if he could help move the old one out. I was so surprised to meet the designer not to mention he went out of his way to help us. It was a very pleasant experience buying from allmodern.com. I look forward to buying again. |

Nice Sofa The sofa is really cool looking except that I wish the fabric quality was a bit higher. It is comfortable, long and deep, good for a nap. |
