I bought this couch for my office because it was one of the few that were small enough to fit in the space, but large enough to take naps on (for an average height person).  It's super comfortable, looks really nice, and was really easy to put together.  I get a lot of compliments o it.  The only reason it gets 4 instead of 5 starts is because when the light hits the couch in the morning, you can tell that it is bonded leather and it looks almost spotty - however this is part of the reason it is not expensive.   In the afternoon it looks like one solid piece of leather.  It definitely has to be against a wall since the back is velcroed on - so it wouldn't work to stand alone.  For my purposes, it is perfect.
