I've had this sofa since September, 2023 - unfortunately I've run into a quality issue and the seat springs on both sides are squeaking. I understand this sofa is on the more affordable side, but I had hoped it would last at least a year or two before the springs began to have issues. This sofa is beautiful, and was exactly what I was looking for at the time. The material is soft, although the seat cushions leave room for improvement comfort wise (even after the break-in period).
