When I looked at this couch online, I read all the bad review, because to me, that’s what’s important. I did not read one bad review about the frame work of this sectional. When it arrived and was set up, I noticed that the arm rests cracked every time pressure was put on them. The weight capacity is 250lbs, and I do not weigh that much. There’s no reason it should’ve been cracking. There was also a sharp piece of metal sticking out of the corner piece. I called and had a replacement set up, which took a month to get to my house again. It was put together, I went to move it so it was closer to my wall, and the board on the side panel completely caved in. I would not recommend spending $1,300 on this couch at all.
