The item was too bulky, and thats why it was difficult for a single woman like myself to return it. So I had to keep it. However, I am not happy with the result. It is too low. My parents have a problem sitting. It hurts their knees, and the backside is not supporting the back. We had to buy foam to add to the bottom and back to make it useable. I am very unhappy with this purchase, and I feel bad that I purchased this lousy sofa for my poor parents.
