this couch looks just like picture. It's a great price, it's a great looking couch but if you want a couch to lounge on this might not be for you. It's very, I mean VERY, firm. I like to sleep on couches more than I do beds. Normally I can sleep on any couch but this one is way to firm to even consider it. When you're opening the boxes BE VERY CAREFUL the couch is not protected by anything and you're more than likely to catch the knife blade on the couches interior.
