Very happy with this purchase!  We have a small living room and this was the right length of couch/sectional that doesn't make our space feel overcrowded.  It was super easy to assemble- basically screw in the legs, throw on the cushions and done!  Straight out the box, it does have a distinct smell- like a new car smell.  My husband didn't notice it, but I'm pregnant and extra sensitive to smells so I could definitely smell it for a full 24 hours.  I really like the fact that the sectional is reversible, so if we ever rearrange the room, we have flexibility to move the ottoman portion to the opposite side if necessary. The cushions are pretty stiff and the extra throw pillows that it comes with are kind of ugly (in my opinion), but neither of those aren't issues for us.  Overall, for the cost, this is a great addition to our living room!  (Oh, and an added plus- our cat hasn't been compelled to scratch it and destroy the upholstry like she did with our old couch!)
