Buy LINSY HOME Rubik 3 - moderncastle.com/go/linsy-rubik-iii-sofa Questions? Ask away! I do my best to answer all questions and comments within 24 hours.
This is my first time coming across your channel and I really appreciate the amount of detail you put into your review. I'm currently seeking a modular sofa with storage seats and replaceable covers, I like the one you have reviewed here but im curious if you have suggestions of higher end sofas with the same features?
All Form - moderncastle.com/allform-sofa-review/ And 7th Avenue - moderncastle.com/7th-avenue-sofa-review/ Are two other modular sofas we've tested that are fantastic. LINSY is a great budget buy, but as far as performance and quality is concerned, 7th Ave and All Form are significant steps up.
How would you say Linsy compares to the Allform modular sofa (or other modular sofas you're aware of)? I'm on the fence about buying the Linsy, but am still considering other options.
Allform feels higher quality and better constructed, though it's also more expensive. Both are comfortable and look good. So I think it's really just a matter of budget and value vs. quality and higher price.
Thank you for your review. How do the armrests feel? Can you feel the frame on the armrest, or is there a good amount of padding? I am bouncing back and forth between this sofa and the Home Reserve Deep Seat. Do you know anything about that brand?
They are fairly firm, very supportive, not plush. The level of padding is pretty minimal and you can feel the frame. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Home Reserve.
Im so happy I found this review! I am debating the Linsy Rubik III for my small NYC apt, precisely bc of the modular feature and the STORAGE which to me is one of the best things about it lol. But your comment that it's firm gives me pause. I don't mind some firmness, esp if that means the cushions might last a little longer without caving in too much. But is it rocker hard? I don't need a plush cushion, and actually prefer not feeling like I am collapsing into the sofa. But I still want it to be comfy - did you still feel comfortable? Was it curl-upable? The 3 seater with ottoman option is appealing to me, as an easier way to do a sectional. Thanks!
It's not rock hard, but it's definitely not plush either. It leans more in the firm direction than it does in the direction of soft. I still found it comfortable...though having some plusher pillows really goes a long way.
I see the Rubik 3 claims to be rated for 1,000 pounds per seat. Did you happen to test this or test how sturdy the storage cover is that the cushion sits on?
Do you know what the dimension is from the back cushion to the front of the sofa? Website says 27.5" but it looks like that includes the back cushion width.
Im conflicted i was gna get the original modular sofa they had that is all washable as well or 999. But just found out about this i dont know if i should go for the newer more expensive version 🤔 😬 lol
I like this review since I am thinking about getting the RUBIK I 4 seat 3 ottoman. I guess I am curious about dog hair and how well it is to clean? Also theoretically couldn’t you just put 2 inch memory foam inside the cushion if it was to firm?
I found it super easy to clean. Just run a vacuum over it every so often. And sure "theoretically" you could replace the cushions with memory foam, but I would guess that would be a huge project. If you're planning on buying a new sofa and immediately replacing the cushions why not just buy a different sofa?
@@ModernCastle it’s hard to find storage sofas and the colors are nice. I like how clean it looks. I am saying you could just apply cushion pillows to sit on or add memory foam in the already existing cushions.
The one thing I keep seeing on these that bugs me is no corner piece. Could you remove the arm piece and put another back piece (so 2 back pieces) on one seat? I also didn’t like that on their website you can’t just get an extra back piece if one broke.
No way for a vacuum to get under. Doesn't look comfortable at all and it's a very strange idea as once you have it set it up most people aren't going to change its layout.
It's definitely a firmer sofa, but definitely more comfortable than it looks. You're right regarding vacuuming. Vacuuming under would be impossible. Overall, I do think the modular sofa concept is an interesting one. You're right, it's not something you change often, but at least in my living room I've changed it several times since we moved in (with different modular sofas) and it's been nice to have the flexibility when we need it.
@@ModernCastle For myself this modular sofa is too much of a compromise. If they made it so the firmness could be adjusted by putting in or taking out layers of cushioning it would be better. Then the storage area could be used to store the unwanted cushioning material. I don't think doing that would make the price change.
You do have a point about a vacuum not being able to get under it. But I think that the pieces are light enough that you can move them around so you can vacuum under them. Also, I think you're able to change the legs to give you more heights.

Questions? Ask away! I do my best to answer all questions and comments within 24 hours.
Is the material polylinen or egyptian cotton?
The fabric is linen, according to the manufacturer.
I own one and I'm very pleased with my purchase

That's something we tested, unfortunately.
1,000 pounds per seat does feel a bit extreme though. I would feel confident up to 500 per seat.
A really solid and informative review. THANK YOU.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How about the height of the back support. It looks a lot lower than my current couch and I’m worried that it is too low.
Do you know what the dimension is from the back cushion to the front of the sofa? Website says 27.5" but it looks like that includes the back cushion width.
20.1"

Do you know if the material on the Linsy Rubik 3 sofa is scratch proof for dogs and can be cleaned by wiping it down?
It's a fairly durable feeling fabric, but I don't think it's rated "scratch proof".
I don't think it would be especially easily cleaned.
have you tested any of Linsy's other product lines? Would like something a little more plush than the Rubik III
I have not. Just this one.
I like this review since I am thinking about getting the RUBIK I 4 seat 3 ottoman. I guess I am curious about dog hair and how well it is to clean?

In theory, that should work. Though we didn't test to verify.
Excellent review thx
Glad it was helpful!
How tall is the back rest of the sofa from the top of the seat cushion?
34.25"
What are the dimensions of the back pillow?
25.5" x 20"
Does anyone know the pound limit per seat? My children jump a lot.
300lbs
The Rubik 1 is 300, the Rubik 3 is supposed to be 1000lbs
Interesting product. Overall like it but if you have an issue with your order....you are screwed. No customer service.
Probably safer to buy it from Amazon than directly from LINSY.
I agree, my experiences with the in-house team have been bad as well.
Great to know. Would you rather go through Amazon?

@@Boodieman72 Yeah, that's a good point. I would love to see a more plush version of this sofa.

@moderncastle I am interested in it primarily for the storage aspect.
