I love everything about this sofa!  It is sturdy and the seating is firm which is what we need!  It matches the recliner we already have even though it's by another maker, right down to the stitching!  It was very well packed and was delivered in perfect shape.  The throw pillows don't thrill me but they can be recovered easily.  It's wide enough to seat 3 people very comfortably.  Just right for the room!   Thanks Birch Lane!   Oh and the price was great--we same the same sofa [they call it the 
Larkinhurst] at Ashley furniture and sat in it there before we ordered.  Much less than Ashley, free delivery and no tax!  win win win
