Sofa is uncomfortable upon first sit.  It uses nylon webbing for support (that's bad) and is hard as a rock out of the box. The cushions are extra firm as well. As it is now, I am embarrassed to seat guests upon it.  They'd say "oh, your new sofa is gorgeous!"  They'd sit and I'd spend a minute explaining how the couch is new and it is a bit firm but it will soften over time.

It looks beautiful though and I'm hoping it breaks-in and become comfortable.  But you get what you pay for and I suspect this couch will inexplicably fall apart.
