We have had this couch for a few weeks and so far it's been great. Was pretty easy to assemble. All we had prior to this was a loveseat so it was important to us to have extra seating. It's technically a 4 seater but with the detachable ottoman, I consider it to be up to 5 seats. It's smaller height and width-wise than a typical couch from the furniture store so keep that in mind.
