I love this sofa. Reclines back further than I anticipated. As a sofa it is a very comfortable place to take a nap when not reclined, even though the seats cushions look as though it might not be comfortable to lay on. The faux leather does not make me sweat. Assembly took 2 men approximately 45 minutes. It probably could be assembled in 30 minutes if the sofa arms were put on first as they should be. We had to remove two back pieces to install arms since we missed that step. Instructions were not super detailed but were good enough to get the job  done.d
