Not a bad couch. Seems like itll hold up for a decent amount of time and the storage is awesome. I wouldnt call it a soft couch by any stretch of the imagination. The first thing I did was throw a thick fluffy blanket over it. The arms are also basically wooden blocks covered by cloth and the throw pillows are tiny. That being said, If youre looking for a place to sit that isnt the floor for less than 500 this isnt a bad option.
