The back cushions are very low, this is a sofa that is difficult to lay back on. If you’re looking for a comfy couch, I advise you look elsewhere. This sofa is extremely firm and offers zero support for your head or neck. Otherwise the sofa looks great. I’m waiting to see how the faux leather breaks in, fingers crossed that this sofa will last more than a couple of years. The sectional comes apart very easily, and the components are light. The price is high for the value.
