Love this sectional! It is sturdy and comfortable . I purchased it in black and it looks very chic. Low maintenance in cleaning and does not retain a lot of lint at all, minimal, not much cleaning needed. This sofa and chaise comes in 2 boxes. I was able to put together in about hour. The chaise is separate and can be used for additional seating Or arranged as one sofa sectional. Easily converts to sleep on (2) however I would use a mattress topper for extra softness for guests who are larger but great buy and modern and chic look.
