Well first off this is our first sofa purchase, when my husband and I started out we were handme downed his parents sectional. So we have been looking for a sectional sofa for about 3 years now, and we were pleased to find this one! It’s a firmer seat. Rich brown color, no funky smell. Easy assembly just screwing in the legs. Quick delivery. Looks high end without the price tag! Our family and friends compliment it every time they come over. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase!
