I bought this sofa as a gift for my son & his wife's first apartment.  It is visually stunning... very classy and classic.  They think that the firmness is just perfect. It's the right size for an apartment, but I can see it in a den or a study later on. I dressed it up with pillows and a throw, and it is a lovely focal point for the room. It came in mint condition and was easy enough to assemble.  I love a product that is "finished", and this sofa is very well made. The price point is excellent, especially given the quality of the workmanship. We love it!
