All you do is open the box, screw on the legs and arms, unwrap the vacuumed packed cushions, flip up the back, and pop on the slipcovers! Each cushion as well as the frame has a separate cover--so it really looks upholstered. Everywhere I have read says they wash very well in case of spills. The good thing, too, to remember is that a new slip cover starts at only $49! Yup, you read that right! A new white cover like this is $49! It is a very nice quality cotton denim--nice zippers and seaming and everything!
It took a bit of re-arranging to get everything situated. More photos here.
Also, look for photos from the AMAZING model train set I got to see a few weeks ago coming very soon!
Don't forget about the GIVE-A-WAY!!!

You are going to LOVE your new sofa. I love mine! I have 3 kids, 3 dogs, and 2 cats and I have no problem with it looking clean all the time. I wash it maybe once every 3 months (the cover) and then I pay my 13 year old daughter $3 to put the covers back on. Works for me! When people come over they always say--how do you keep your couch so clean and on and on about how impractical it is. I tell them everybody's couch gets dirty--you can just tell when mine is, and then I wash it! Congrats on your new purchase:)
Huh ... I'm impressed. It looks very nice in your livingroom. I have debated for a very long time about getting this sofa. Please share more pics. when you get the chance.
I have wondered about the durability of the Ektorp, but I've heard nothing but great things from everyone I know who has this sofa. It looks great in your living room!
looks great and how wonderful to be able to replace the slips for so little $$...we have the Rowe slipcovered furniture everywhere...I love it, but the slips are soooo expensive to replace..enjoy...It's beautiful!!..Mariaelena
are you kidding me? have i been living a under rock or what? never heard of this sofa! it's amazing! can't BELIEVE it comes in a box that small! and for 399.00? wow....i have been on the hunt for a new sofa myself .....need to get a better look at this on in their catalogue. TFS! It looks so Frenchy gorgeous in your home!!

Awesome!! This is the exact sofa I will be getting soon!! I had no idea it comes in a box!! I just knew shipping was rather inexpensive....Thanks for the info!! BTW, it looks great!!! ~Deanna
That looks great! I love it. It is hard to believe it all came in one little box and even harder to believe you can buy a slipcover for $49! Great buy! xo Diana
The sofa looks like it was always there. I love a white couch.
Hi Mikey, I have been looking at the same sofa and it looks wonderful in your room! Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Hugs, Sherry
I have this sofa in denim. Love it! Also have matching chair in blue and white ticking. One of these days I'll have to get a white slipcover for it!

It looks wonderful! Thanks for explaining how it all came together... i've definitely considered that sofa... so this information is really great to have. I love your candelabras and the little side tables beside the sofa, too cute!

I bought a slip covered couch and chair from a big company, both have ripped at the zippers and completely pulled out. The cushions were remade once. And to buy another set it is way too expensive for me to do now. Putting them back on after washing is a trying experience, too. Very disappointed. So IKEA will be my next one.
Loving it Mikey!! It's perfect!! I love the ektorp sofa !
Your new sofa looks fabulous, Mikey! But I'm more intrigued by the appearance of your beautiful streamlined living room.
I haven't had the opportunity to visit since your kitchen remodel, and it looks as though you've been quite busy sprucing up your dwelling. I must try to catch up on what you've been up to since my last visit. ;)
Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday again. I always love seeing your transformations.
