I waited 4 months to review this so I could see if the comfort increased with wear. This couch is incredibly firm after initial assembly but 4 months later this couch is fairly comfortable while still being firm. I’m able to lounge and watch tv and my friends have even joked that the couch has melatonin in it cause they’ve fallen asleep on it. Overall this couch is beautiful and gets more comfortable with use. 5 stars overall!
