This sofa is exactly what it says it is. It came to my house in good condition without any damages. The material is nice and soft. The cup holders do what they are made to do... hold cups. The recliners go back pretty far, but you control that of course. It all seems quite durable. If you are of average size and height this is the perfect sofa. If you are larger, maybe don't use the cup holders or it may be a tight fit for you. Taller people may have their legs dangling from the foot rests. I am very satisfied.
