It was really hard finding a perfect sized couch for our living room that wasn't too big or bulky for our open layout downstairs. It seats plenty of people, and is really comfortable. It's true that out of the box it feels stiff and some of the cushions are wrinkled but it softened and the wrinkles have pretty much smoothed and we couldn't be happier. I'm not sure how it will hold up over time but it seems pretty durable so far. Beautiful couch for the price I'd recommend it if you want something roomy but not huge
