This couch was perfect for our new house.  We wanted a sectional, but we didn't want to pay a fortune for one.  With three kids and three dogs, spending a lot on something that may very well get ruined is not an option.  But we still wanted something that looked nice in our living room.  This couch was perfect!  We've had it about 4 months now, and other than the dog hair and slobber on it, it's really holding up well.  The dogs (one is 107lbs) and the kids jump on it all the time, throw the cushions on the floor, and our one daughter prefers to sleep on the couch instead of in her room, so that tells you the level of comfort.  The only complain is that the cushions slide off so easily and the two pieces, couch and chaise, aren't connected so we're always having to reposition everything.
