I like the sofa however the bench part is a bit short for my liking so while it’s long enough, quite long actually for lying and watching tv, your knees may hang off because the bench is so short. Without decorative pillows and while sitting there isn’t much room so I know it won’t accommodate large pillows and a person sitting very well. I have two ottomans that I life up to it when I want to lounge that work out great (see photos). It came as one piece, I only had to screw on the feet. It is well made however and strong and sturdy. I look for items made of solid wood not manufactured wood and it seems to be true here. It’s easy to wipe clean but you cannot remove the cushion or lose items like remotes or phones in it. I would buy it again.
