This lasted less than my 6 month payment plan :( if you lean too hard on the arms, they crack and split. I leaned my elbow to adjust myself and sit up higher and totally broke the arm rest. Would not recommend this couch for anyone who may be overweight, or with kids that would jump on it! The bottom beam broke on us a few weeks ago. Unfortunately this couch is now being supported by bed risers underneath to keep it all together :(
