What I like best about the IKEA Website:

IKEA provides a lot of information on its page's front page which I like. Prices and names are listed in front of you and they've got measurements of all kinds to help you determine what furniture will work for your space prior to you make a purchase. They also explain clearly the structure and materials used which is a nice touch. In a lot of their frames, they employ a combination solid wood, particleboard and plywood to reduce costs while maintaining the strength. They also specify if the cushion filling is feathers or foam, which can really impact how firm a sofa is. They could go deeper and show how different components are constructed however they do an excellent job.

3. Capasa Sofa

This sofa comes in a khaki-green hue and is described by Good Housekeeping as a "truly amazing duplicate" of 'the cloud couch. It is easy to put together and comes with deep seating.
