We just got this a few weeks ago (so I can't say how it wears over time), but it exceeds our expectations so far; especially for the price. It's big and roomy and the multiple pieces give flexible arrangement options. It does sit lower to the ground and is a bit less bulky than other sectionals but without sacrificing roominess. My husband has back pain and is particular about his seating for that reason and finds it very comfortable. The kids love to sprawl out on it too! I threw in a few of my own pillows for a pop of contrast. I'd highly recommend this sectional!
