I said I would never have a recliner couch but caved for our music room!  We are in love with it!  Very comfy I especially like that it glides and reclines. This picture was immediately after taking out of box and putting together. It came without the backs but was very easy to attach. This was our first time to buy a couch online.  I wasn’t expecting the design in the fabric but actually blends well with my rug type. Delivery was perfect and the delivery guys were helpful to explain briefly what to expect for the assembly as it came in a box.
