This couch is actually very impressive for the price! The seats are on the firm side, but surprisingly, sitting on the couch and even laying down on it is quite comfortable! My 70 year old Mother in-law was the first to sit on it and immediately commented how comfortable it was. This sectional looks beautiful too. I want to buy the Ottoman for the set now, but unsure where to buy it! I think if you are looking for a reasonable, expensive looking, and comfortable enough sectional, this ones for you!
