really my reclining sofa is simply great, (FOR ME) it may not be for someone else because its a bit firm and its not designed to lay on. I didn't buy it to lay on, I have other sofas combined with this one that I lay on, I bought this particular sofa to simply relax on and that I do. I also bought it because of the type material it had, real cozy and comfortable. If one is looking for real soft this is not the one. thing is I got exactly what I wanted, at a real good price and real quality to boot. I was however surprised to see how it came, it came in (ONE) box, six pieces, and took about (fifteen minutes) to put together by myself. one last thing is it has some special little feet that it sets on and I can move it around on my hardwood floor with ease without hurting the floor and yet it stays in place. I couldn't be more satisfied.
