This is one of the most fantastic collector pieces of furniture Mattel has ever produced, but the promo pictures do indeed differ from the finished product. The shoe pillow is switched with a pillow with glasses on it, and the black pillow with writing on it instead comes with a giant pink heart. They're also arranged differently on the couch, which is a problem because if you snip the threads holding the accessories in place, you'll never get them to sit correctly on the couch again.

While the blanket looks the same, the different pillows appear to be made from cheap acetate fabric, whereas promo photos would lead you to believe the pillows are made of more durable, higher quality fabric. I ordered mine direct from Mattel, so you'll get the same thing from Amazon that you would have gotten from the manufacturer.

The couch itself with the fabric, white piping and the overall finished piece are extremely nice and I would recommend this for any collector. I would however hope that future pieces not be hot pink (there's nothing wrong with pink, but there ARE other colors out there!). Four stars for the substitute pillows and hot pink-- otherwise do something nice for your dolls and get this couch for your collection.

ETA: Check the comments below; apparently if you flip the pillows over, you get the patterns shown in the promo picture. The only caveat I would add to that is that the pillow fabric is VERY thin acetate, and I doubt if the flip sides could ever be made to look right. Thanks to BT for the info-- I never would have thought to look at the undersides since the pillows are attached.

This couch is so cool! It is very good quality; a lot better than that cheap, plastic Barbie furniture. My daughter is going to love it for her dollhouse hat she is getting for Christmas. To bad Johnathan Adler dosen't make all kinds of barbie furniture for dollhouses. I have also ordered the doll that comes with the end table set. I can't wait to see it.

This is a soft fabric padded couch - very much like a miniature of the real thing except that the real couch would have wood and this is very plastic. What you are paying for with the high cost is a very highly detailed and exception piece of furniture with which you can use for displays of your more expensive Barbies. The couch is large and likely not very useful for doll houses. But I have to admit I enjoy using it with some of my Gold Label Barbie displays.

If you have your adult collector Barbies displayed, you'll definitely want this couch. But I don't recommend it for kids or kids playsets due to the quality/high cost. The regular "Think Pink" Barbie furniture is more than suitable for children's playsets.

One problem with the companion Jonathan Adler Barbie Doll is that her legs don't bend (most of the model-barbies don't) - so she won't sit on the actual. Was kind of disappointed with that.

I love this sofa. The quality is excellent, a lot better then the plastic furniture they have for Barbie, they really had the adult collector in mind with this. And I love that both of the pillows are reversible to cute. I hope Jonathan Adler makes more furniture for our Barbie friends.

This sofa with its pillows & blanket is adorable & of course goes well with the Adler doll & furnishings (which I also bought: I had to buy another one since a 12 year old got hold of it which was fine until the 5 year old misplaced some of the decor & undressed the Barbie: if I ever find all the pieces, this sofa will have 2 end tables with 2 lamps instead of just one).

A lot of attention to detail & very well crafted. Definitely not allowing children to play with this (I never planned to anyway: it was for me). This inspired me to create a special room with Adler decor & Barbie on a bookshelf in my library (of course, she's lounging while reading on the sofa. It's a conversation piece now & collectors love it. I wish Jonathan Adler had created more furnishings for Barbie.

I highly recommend this sofa for Barbie collectors. Not intended for small children. If you buy this sofa, you'll definitely want to buy the Adler doll with end table, lamp, vases, etc.

I bought this and the Jonathan Adler Barbie with the lamp and table. Both are so amazingly nice and well worth the purchase price. They are so much more solid than a regular Barbie sofa and I love the use of fabric rather than just plastic. I loved it so much I actually bought a second sofa for my niece for her birthday. I wish it was possible to furnish an entire Barbie house with this quality furniture.

It's a real-looking sofa at the right size for barbie dolls. It's high quality and not the usual plastic forms for kids to play. This is a must-have for adult collectors. There should be more furniture like this for adult Barbie collectors

This is one of the coolest pieces of furniture my daughter has in her doll house. It is a great size, durable and the pillows and blanket are attached so they don't get lost. Unlike many of the other Barbie brand pieces of furniture, this one is not flimsy or unsteady. Very nice!

While I would love this in another color since I do use it to sit my dolls on It is by far the best Barbie couch they have put out! Thank goodness for Jonathan Adler making this a lot cooler and more modern than the plastic stuff the Barbie Company usually comes out with! I give it 5 stars!

My daughter was getting a Barbie Dream House for Christmas and I purchased this for it. I was shocked at how large it was but it's stunning. I was extremely pleased and would buy anything from this collection.
