I bought this couch, the loveseat, chair, and ottoman in white 11 years ago with a "I'm single and it's my last chance to have white furniture" rationale. 11 years, two boys, and a typically gross husband later, it's still holding up alright. It has to be cleaned regularly and large people sink in more than they used to, but there's no question that I got my money's worth. I keep the chair and ottoman in my office and the still look and feel brand new. I'm contemplating buying the same thing again, but not in white this time (sigh...).
