Ugh... Ok, the couch is VERY pleasing to the eye;  however, it's more like a prop you'd place a house you're trying to sell (or in an office waiting room) than a couch you'd actually 'live' with/on.  While we appreciate furniture with support this couch is so firm/hard that we actually avoid it when trying to relax.  Unfortunately we've squandered ~$500 that we could have put toward a higher quality sofa that we could actually use but during this process we've learned a valuable lesson (one that we should have already known - that you get what you pay for).
