We ordered this to match the small sofa we purchased before Christmas. It's just as we expected, firm seat, and I no longer bump my elbows on the armrests. Only criticizm is that the quality control on the wood finish is lacking, this time the "bare" spot is on the front of the back unit but it's covered by the cushion so I'm not particularly worried. Very easy to put together, good instructions and all pieces were present. Also well packed, no shipping damge
