I bought this sectional in black for my daughter. It was easy to put together;  it was done in 15 minutes with no tools. It's comfortable, but is definitely a stiff couch, you will not sink into it. I'm worried about the future of the bottom and back cushions, as they are not removable to be reshaped and fluffed. For the price, it is worth the risk!  We bought it not expecting it to be a "forever" couch!
