Not going to lie, I didn’t have high hopes, even with the reviews. BUT I have to say, this couch was a lot bigger and sturdier than I thought it would be. The material is soft, but not too soft, same with cushions. They are firm and nice. It is perfect in my new house. 1010 recommend to anyone thinking of buying the couch. 

- yes, you can remove the cushion covers to wash. They have Velcro edge, so they don’t slide off.  yes, comes with two brackets to connect chaise to double seat!! Perfect
