We have only had this couch for maybe 2-3months, first let me say it sat in an empty garage for a month while we moved in, upon finally putting it together the left reclining seat already had a seam mark on the seat portion and we assume it will get worse in the months to come. The couch is very comfortable!! We love the reclining ends, I wish the cup holder sections would fold away, but they don't. We still have not put the leather conditioner on the couch, but I have it. All in all after maybe 2 months of use we very much like the coudh, but very very worried about this seam coming undone and it does look shabby that it is so noticeable.
