The back is NOT upholstered, which is not featured in the pictures. If you're putting it against the wall like we are it should be ok, but it was an unpleasant surprise to see the ugly back. 

Additionally, build quality seems to be poor, with screws not lining up. In one case, there were two screw holes right next to each other because one was drilled in the wrong place - at least they got the correct location drilled. 

Overall this is definitely a cheap couch, and you get what you pay for!
