Very elegant and expensive looking but at a great price, easy to assemble and cushions are firm.  Bonus that the cushion covers remove for washing.  I had to take away a star because I had a damaged piece and since the couch is no longer in stock they cannot send me a replacement.  Fortunately the flaw does not show. Please note in my pic that I put the ottoman it came with on the end of the chaise for more seating, grey ottoman is mine.
