This sectional looks really nice once set up. It is time consuming to put together but not hard to assemble. Pillow cushions are thin and not plush. I double they will last more than an year before needing to be replaced. Construction of the seating is solid but would not trust it to last if being used on a regular basis with heavier guests or large parties. I would imagine it would start to sag. Overall I am happy with it for the price and see it lasting us 3-5 years.
