So far this couch is great! We have had it for about a week. It's super easy to put together and feels pretty sturdy. The cushions are pretty firm, you definitely don't sink into this couch but I'm sure it'll break in nicely. The color is really nice too, purplish charcoal gray. The material is almost like a very tough linen? Not super soft but good for pet hair! Overall, we're really liking it so far!!
