Brilliant couch - easily compares to more expensive versions at high end stores but for fraction of the price. The cushions could use some breaking in (IMO) as they're just a little too firm for my tastes but I think of these Chesterfield couches as old English manor broken in with scratches everywhere sitting in front of a giant fireplace in old England with a mastiff curled up on it... with time it'll grow into my vision though...
