We wanted something huge and affordable to accommodate us and all of our big dogs so we can pile on and hang out comfortably. This thing is a behemoth, each section is huge! We have only opened and used 5 of the pieces so far, but we will add the ottoman soon so I can put my feet up. We still have 2 sections that we are going to put in the music studio so that my son has big comfy seating for his friends that come over for jam sessions…definitely a bonus. We also like that the sectional pieces can connect, and that the connections are on the bottom and not the sides, that way our stand-alone pieces don’t have ugly hardware showing. We are really happy with this sectional.
