I'm so glad I bought this couch! I love that the wide arms run all the way around the couch (my cat loves this new thoroughfare for her emerging parkour career). I was nervous about the corduroy fabric, and especially buying online when I couldn't feel it. I was pleasantly surprised that it is a soft, almost chenille-like feel. The couch is firm, so if you're looking for one you're going to sink into, this isn't the purchase for you. However, it is my preferred type of couch so I'm loving it. It was shipped quickly, all four boxes arrived together, and it was extremely easy to put together (no tools needed). I only gave 4 star instead of 5 for two reasons: 1) the cushions come vacuumed and the seat cushions haven't inflated as much as I would have liked; and 2) the mechanic to hold the modular pieces together is a bit wonky and I had a little trouble getting the pieces to stay together. This might be operator error, though :) Overall, for the price, this has been an excellent purchase!
