Love the look of this couch set! It was very easy to assemble, just fit together the base, arms and back, along with the legs and then pop on the cushions. True to color. One cushion was totally smashed and still hasn't straightened out after two weeks of trying. The seat is very firm, the back soft and plush. If you're looking for a couch you sink into, this isn't the couch for you. But it's perfect for my formal living room, where I entertain for tea or after dinner drinks. I can't wait to get some brightly colored throw pillows for it. Overall really like these two! (Definitely apartment sized, they're quite compact so make sure to read the dimensions)
