The couch is surprisingly sturdy and extremely easy to assemble. It is a good purchase if you are looking for a small inexpensive couch that is easy to move around and assemble/disassemble. Works great for my apartment. This is not a couch I would buy for a family home or for a larger space. It is very firm (which is fine) but it does not feel extremely cozy. Invest more into your couch if you want a luxurious and comfortable feel. Overall, good for the price but I would recommend spending more if you're shopping for a living room staple couch.
