After the purchase of this sofa, I was very concerned.  I am the person who has to touch everything before I purchased it. Well, since we got to the point that we decided to change our sofa, I took a chance to bought it online. Anyway, to make a long story short; I have to say that we love it. It is firm, strong, and comfortable. The fabulous thing was that it came to our front door, and at a good price.
