The shipment arrived earlier than expected, so that was a positive start. Then when unpacking, it was very easy to see how to build it. Which was pretty easy, but I did need my son to help it go faster. The look of the couch is phenomenal, it blends with contemporary and mid-century. It's very comfortable, not to firm. The fabric is more of velvet suede. I did scotch guard the entire piece before I assembled it. It's holding up beautifully!!
Size wise, think of an extra large love seat. It can sit 3 average people closely. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. I thought of it as a in between couch, as I change designs. But I love it so much it's staying as a main piece in my living room. Then you consider the price! It's a really great purchase!!
