Our family loves this sectional! We ordered the dark grey color, as we have small children. The cushions are massive and on the firmer side, yet the fabric is very soft (think a cross between curduroy and velvet). Very comfortable. We like to configure it into a rectangular/bed shape for movie nights, and our entire family of five can pile up on it with plenty of room to spare. The back cushions are already starting to lag a bit after only a few weeks of use, but our kids like to hang off of them. All in all, if it holds up for the next couple of years (and we're confident it will) we would consider it a great value.
