The couch is larger than I realized, which is nice.  As mentioned in other reviews the brackets that attach the chaise to the couch were included.  The fabric is soft and appears slightly darker than in the picture.  The cushion are pretty firm and the couch feels slightly higher up than many couches.  My only concern is the back of the couch/chaise seems a little flimsy, I'm not sure how this would hold up to children climbing on it.  Very satisfied with it overall.
