This couch offers great value with a firm and thick cushion, which is much more supportivesturdy than other options. The base acts like a box spring and was very easy to open up to reveal all the couch components. Set up took less than 30 minutes and was very intuitive, and the texture of the corduroy is extremely soft and does not leave fuzz anywhere after you sit. I LOVE how it adds a pop of color to my space, and it is long enough for me to lie down flat without slipping off the sofa. 1010 would recommend that you pick up this sofa. The true value is in that full length cushion, and solid base- its great!
