I'm super happy with this and recommend it to anyone on a budget or a business waiting room. We needed cheap temp seating as our sofa required 4-5 months to be made. Is the Brumback a cheap feeling sofa? Yep! But it's definitely not as cheap looking or feeling as I expected. For example the legs are real wood. The seat is very firm like a 7.5 on a ten scale but the back pillows are plush and feel more like a 4.5 which makes it comfortable to sit in. It took me 25 mins to put this together by myself and one screwdriver.  It is super sturdy. Easy to put together and easy to break down. CONS: The velvet is like the inexpensive, stiff, short haired velvet you can find in big box stores. It is not the soft luscious teddy bear type velvet you would expect on a sofa. The bottom seat is not slipcovered but the rest of the pillows are. I washed them immediately in mesh wash bags in the washer and dryer and everything held up. See for yourself the pics are after I washed the slipcovers.
