Well worth the money. I believe I got an incredible deal on this set and it looks fantastic in the living room. It arrived at my door mostly intact and easy to put together that which was not already assembled. It's very convenient that each end of the couch and loveseat recline! The Recliner itself is very comfortable. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 simply due to the fact that the upholstery could possibly be a better quality, however, it is truly a case of you get what you pay for. It is functional and the espresso set looks warm, inviting and creates a great, relaxing atmosphere to the living room.
