I like the sectional.  The firmness is great for an older person like myself.  The material(polyester) probably won't stand up for long use and will pill or tear.  It is already stretching some.  I would not recommend this item for a formal living room but is excellent for a rec room or basement and it would be a lot more comfortable with a higher back so a person could lean their head back to relax.  Overall it is a nice item for the money.  Shipped UPS.  All 3 packages came together.
