Couch looks nice, BUT is unbelievably stiff and unforgiving. It is almost impossible to "settle in" and get comfortable. You are always sitting on top of this couch, and never truly feel like you are a part of it. The corner cushion (without ratchets) does not sit flush on both sides, either. If you press one side flush, the other pops up and creates an unsightly gap in the cushion. Honestly, I wanted to return it immediately after sitting down, but it seems like an incredible hassle.
