This is not a real, traditional piece of furniture. The couch does not have true arms. You will quickly realize that this severely hampers your ability to relax or recline on the chair. The back is also too low. Cushions are relatively thin. If you are used to real, solid furniture that is a solid one piece, you will be very disappointed with this. The only redeeming quality is that it looks nice so it’s better suited as a decorative piece in maybe a formal living room than a daily main piece of furniture in a family room. I’ve had it for several months and guarantee of you read this review and are looking for a main furniture piece you will regret purchasing this. I wish I could take my 800 and spend twice as much for actual furniture.
