I was weary about purchasing this sofa online only by pictures (never had the opportunity to sit on it). Thanks to all the reviews i read i took a chance and am glad I did. The sofa arrived in three large boxes and the assembly was reasonably easy. The sofa arrived to my home way ahead of schedule. Since I have a fairly small living room, the sectional sofa provides the room with the necessary seating options i was looking for. The sofa is comfortable, the recliners (both ends of the sofa) are fully functional, the price was right and the fairly neutral color goes well with my current wall colors.
