The sofa looks great in photos and even when assembled, however, it is extraordinarily flimsy if it lasted a year I would be very surprised.  You have to assemble it... this does not mean placing the cusions on the sofa... this means attaching the arms, the bottom, and the back together into thin metal slot type attachments.  Comfort was non-existant and felt like sitting on a wooden crate.  I understand certain sacrefices are allowed at a lower price point, however, this is beyond.  It flexes when you sit in it and we are thin people.  Literally a waste of time assembling and repackaging.  Eight years ago I had to quickly furnish a room.  For $999 I purchased a sofa, 2 chaise lounges, 2 end tables, 2 lamps, and one coffee table from a chain discount dealer, not expecting to have it years later.  All the pieces are sturdy and have held up and look great.  That was a wonderful deal, this sofa boarders on criminal.
