Love this couch. I was looking for a couch that was feminine but could still mix well with other pieces if I need it to later on. I also wanted a couch that you could see under. I have kids and their junktoyscrumbs gets EVERYWHERE. There are Legos under it in the picture. Lol. You can see under this, it sits 3 people comfortably and 4 if theyre small people.  The couch itself is a lot firm. Its not the kind you sink into after a long day. So if youre looking for cozy, this is not the one.  As far as I can tell the cushions do not come out. Assembly was easier than most things. You simply screw the legs on. Holes were pre-drilled and clearly marked. Because the legs go out at an angle, theres a little white tick you like up on the leg and sofa. Its not extremely heavy. I was able to flip it right over, not even an issue. Bottom line its beautiful, I love it.
