My reasons for buying this: price and style. I wanted a couch I would love and not spend a ton of money on it in case my new kitten attacked it (So far, no furniture attacks) I was nervous to purchase this due to some of the reviews, but so far I really like it. Super easy to put together. No problems with that at all.  There is the tiniest stop on the seat of the fabric that I can't get out, but barely noticeable.  The seat is comfy to me.  It does sink a bit when more than one person is on it and that can be a bit uncomfy (i'm also nervous that it won't hold up after extended use!).  I also like napping on it!! (I'm short so it works!)   I'd say if you don't want to spend more than $250 on a cute sofa, get this one.
