The problem with this couch is the backrests are literally just pillows. They have no structure or firmness, so you literally sink back with no resistance at all and hit the back of the couch. VERY uncomfortable! The photos provided by the seller are very misleading. *See our photos we took immediately after assembly. Don’t worry, we won’t show the disappointment in our faces… This couch is not firm at all, but very weak and extremely uncomfortable. Would not recommend you purchase this product. We would return it, but Wayfair won’t let you do returns after you have assembled the product.
