Beautiful to look at and easy to assemble (no tools required), but not a comfortable couch.  Seat cushions are stiff and not deep enough for cozy sitting and the side arms are much too low to lean against.  Perfect for staging a room - clean, minimalist lines and lovely neutral coloured (ivory) fabric in a velvet finish.  But if you're looking for an everyday couch that you want to snuggle into, this definitely isn't the one.
