This couch is SOOOO EASY to put together. Obviously, its firm if you want a reaaalllly soft couch you can spend that 2k. For an affordable couch, weve been sitting on the floor at our new apartment for four months, so to all the Karens who complain its too firm you can sit on the floor for months and then write a review!!! Lol, this couch is so beautiful and I love the way it feels when I sit on it. Very nice and VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
