We kept going back and forth about the decision to purchase the couch due to the bad reviews regarding the comfort level and when it arrived, I admit I thought "boy this couch is so uncomfortable, I'll probably never sit on it and I just wasted my money." However, after about 7-10 days, it was and remains pretty darn comfortable. We weren't the type that wanted a bed-level comfort sofa in our living room and were looking for something that was modern, large enough to fit 2 adults and at least two kids on, perfect for watching movies (which is where the chaise and pullout come in handy), you can easily remove pet hair from, and was this color blue and this couch is it! 

The color is slightly deeper in person than in the photos which was a plus for us because I wasn't totally sold on the lightness of the color in the photo at first. 

For the price point, comfort level after break-in period, material, and overall functionality, I highly recommend this sofa.
