I have to admit when i first sat on this sectional i thought i had made a bad decision.  I was going from a well loved microfiber couch and the feel of the couch was a shock initially.  But after we used the couch for a few days it has grown on me and become more comfortable and softer.  I think it just needed to be "broke in" like a new pair  of high heel shoes?  We love it now.  The only thing i wish to tell new buyers is give it a week to break it in with normal use and it will grow on you. Also, the parts and feet of the couch are zipped inside the couch -you'll thank me later :)
