I must say I was a bit skeptical when I read some of the negative reviews. However I went with my instinct and I LOVE THIS COUCH! It is super sturdy, comfortable, has a great feeling material. It is great for sitting, it is a bit on the "hard" side, not as plush as most would want, but perfect for my husbands back pain.  He can sit without feeling any back pain. It matches perfectly as a set with the Love seat I bought with it. I HIGHLY Recommend this couch!
