Bought the couch for my greyhound who just had his back leg amputated. We wanted something with support but not too thick. He likes to lay his head on the bolster arms and the back bolster is sturdy enough to support him when roaching. I sat down on it with him when first got it, act all more comfortable than my human couch. Hope it holds it's shape and support only time will tell. But it does appear to be made well. Took about 15 minutes to put together, tight fit but this is shy it has good support on the bolsters.
