I wanted a very inexpensive couch because we have a problem cat. This was a fantastic deal! My boyfriend was not happy putting it together because the directions were terrible, but it really wasn't that hard. It is firm but comfortable and really looks nice. The color is not the same as the picture, it's not as vibrant of a green, but still adequate. I have a black pad on mine in picture because of said Problem Cat. I'm really happy with it, it is long enough for me to lie all the way down comfortably, I am 5'2". It is not very wide, so does not take up a lot of room. Surprisingly it arrived in one box the size of the base. The cushions were shrink wrapped and expand when opened. The legs are plastic and I'm sure it won't last forever, but for this price it is a great deal.
