I love this sectional. It's not heavy but it seems sturdy and well made. And since our dogs are family, we allow them on the sectional (With a sheet to protect the fabric), and they love it too. It looks good in our family room. I thought it might be too big but fits just right. It's a little weird that the back of each part of the sectional, isn't attached and slides on the attach but it works OK. I also like that they link together to make the entire unit more stable.  For the money, I think it's a very good value.
