I am in love with this sofa. Ive had this sofa for about 4 months now. The quality is great, and its so comfy! The arm rests are a bit low, but its not a deal breaker for me. The center foldout is extremely useful, especially the cup holders. The fabric has held up well with the cats claws - no pulls in the fabric yet. Ive had no issues with the reclining feature. You have to manually push it down, its not difficult but takes a little effort to get it to click back into place. Overall 1010 recommend.
