Extremely firm cushions, not super comfortable, I would definitely recommend soft accent pillows, since there really is not much give in this couch. Noticed a metal rod came out of the front after a few months of daily use, which was a bit painful when it hit you. It does look exactly as pictured though, and assembly wasn’t too bad. Better as a statement piece than a daily-use kind of couch in my opinion. But really cute and soft!
