Despite that this sofa was a bit challenging for folks in their 70s  to assemble, I give it 5 stars. Because it is very firm and sits a little high, it works good for aching bodies who have a problem standing up from cushie, sink down sofas. I chose this style because it had a tight back. I do not like pillowed backs that look very tired after a short time of use. It does not look tiny as I feared it would because it is shorter in length than most sofas. Thank you Wayfair. Win, win for us.
