This sofa arrived in pristine condition! It is more comfortable than I imagined it would be, but still not the most comfortable couch. Basically, it’s a really good but for the money! I needed it to fit into my small 600sq ft apartment, so the fact that I could assemble it myself worked really great because my last couch wouldn’t even fit through my door. It is shorter (height wise) than I imagined. Overall, a great buy!
