My wife and I were a little nervous placing an order of this size for a couch that we never sat on, however we are really glad that we took a chance as the sofa is absolutely phenomenal! It came in under two weeks in two boxes with no damage and it couldn't have been much easier to put together, just flip the clasps on the underside and screw in 10 legs. As for the initial comfort impression, definitely a little on the firmer side for the seat cushions with a very nice squishiness on the back cushions, so again, exactly what we were looking for. Finally, the orange color is more on the "burnt autumn" side of orange and definitely not a crazy day-glow one which was a relief!
