This is a good couch. Of course, a specific fabric choice will change the durability. We have had the couch about 4 months and with constant use it is holding up so far! The cushions are very comfortable and thick giving a cushy feeling. The proportions are excellent - I am 5'4" and fit pretty well. I really like the couch a lot and think it is a quality built piece of furniture. I would definitely recommend it - be careful of the fabric you choose. Some fabrics are more durable than others.
