This couch is very very firm and the back rest is quite short. I really want to love this couch but I just don’t. There are two metal “u connectors” to connect the couches which we didn’t even know because the instructions don’t say anything about how to connect the couch. The instructions need to be way more clear. The couch disconnects fairly easily which just isn’t ideal. If I could go back I would not have ordered it. And if the return process wasn’t to much of a hassle I’d be doing that.. for the price of the couch it definitely should not be like this. I personally would not waste your money on this.
