NOT FOR A HOUSE WITH PETS!! Easy to assemble, great idea for the storage compartment - no more losing the remote! A little firm, but will probably soften up a little. But the pet hair sticks like glue!! I will either be buying a cover, or getting rid of the sofa. I’ve only had it two weeks and even if I don’t let the pets on the sofa, it’s all over the front of the sofa. It looks terrible!
