So... I have some thoughts. The couch is absolutely beautiful and incredibly easy to assemble. The back cushions and lumbar pillows are very comfortable. The Velvet is soft and the colour is stunning. The size is perfect for the space and I havent been able to find a better couch in the same size. HOWEVER, the seat is very stiff. My spouse likened it to sitting on velvet-covered concrete. And while I think hes being a bit overdramatic, its definitely not a couch for spending long periods of time relaxing on. I might actually replace it with a similar (but unfortunately larger) option from another site that is 1200 more expensive. This is definitely great value for your money, but also remember that you get what you pay for.
