Looks nice from the front and is comfy when reclined, isn't really aligned at the top but could be because my husband is heavier than me as there's a gap on his side, I forget about the cup holders and mostly drink out of mugs which wouldn't fit anyways, doesn't look good from the back in put open plan livingroom but I just put a throw blanket over the back to try hide that a bit, overall is serving us well for now, I do like the colour and material
