I was in need of a couch that didn't take up very much space. Yes, this couch did fit the bill in that category, but it's not a top of the line solid couch in my opinion. With the design of the room I have it, there is no wall to push the couch up against, and the back of the couch can be a little eye sore due to the fact that you have to pull the material down and hold with velcro (as the contents of pillows and tools are shipped underneath) it is hard to make it lie down smoothly. I'm going to buy a sofa table to resolve that issue.
