Very pleasantly surprised. I had a bit of concern when I first sat on the loveseat - I felt it was much too high. I hadn't realized that the loveseat piece is actually also a rocker, and I was just leaning back really far. (I thought it was moving because I just hadn't locked the recliner down.) No, the loveseat is BOTH a recliner AND a rocker, and while we weren't looking for that, we've fallen in love with the feature. Also, we were worried with three kids and a dog that the faux-leather might scratch easily, but so far it seems very durable. For the price we're very happy with it.
