This couch is just as described.  The fabric is very soft.  Its perfect for my childrens playroom  in home therapy room.  It was very easy to put together.  The box was heavy, but when its put together its not that heavy at all.  I dont think its durable enough to be in our living room where it would be constantly used by grown adults but I think it works perfectly in a front room, home office, playroom, etc.  I got this for a great deal, but I wouldnt have paid full price for it.
