Love the couch and the color. The material is a touch on the shiny side but considering the savings I had when I compare to similar sofas (but are WAY more costly), I can accept it. You do need to be mindful not to plop down to hard on it. My kids were playing around one day and accidentally made the back frame unhinge which creates a little reassembly effort on my part. Overall it was the perfect loveseat to complete my study. Perfect for reading or sitting to watch the kids work at their desks.
