This is an extremely versatile couch. It can be configured in any way, shape or form. Even the ottomans without the backs can easily get backs attached. Many parts are sold separately so you can design the sofa you want. I will be getting additional backs for the ottomans to make a large L shape sofa. The kids set it up this way in their playroom. It’s extremely light and soft. Probably not for heavy use but it’s perfect for what I need it for which is an everyday playroom couch and a guest bed a couple times a year.
