This is exactly what I expected. The reviews I read here really helped. I love the sage green color. It is a little firm which is what I wanted. The button in the back is not a problem for us as one or two reviewers said. Very simple to assemble. It came in a box that was beat up and re-taped but the furniture was fine. I am concerned the arms may get scratched more easily but I can live with the combination of kids and that risk.
