For the money you can’t beat this couch. It is well made, very easy to assemble and very comfortable. Since it is a recliner it is heavy but I’d rather have it be heavy than cheaply made. To be completely transparent, I am relatively tall so my feet hang off the foot rest which can become uncomfortable. Also, there are holes between the cushions that your hand can go through pretty easily if pushing yourself up but you just have to be careful. But again, for the price you can’t beat this couch.
