Great looking smaller couch for a tight space. Can move the ottoman to extend the seating area in different configurations. Also firm but comfortable! The back is lower but I personally like that look. I added more pillows to the grey ones that come with the sectional. Only thing is that assembly was more difficult than anticipated. Lots of little parts and steps that took a significant amount of time (a few hours) to put together. Also the two sides of the sectional do not connect, so they sometimes slide apart. Because of this, I give it 4 stars.
