I am pleasantly surprised at the look and feel of this couch given its price point.  It's comfortably firm, and the fabric is rough enough so you don't slide off but soft enough so you're not getting exfoliated every time you take a seat.  My biggest qualm has to do with the height of the back.  The frame of the back of the couch is quite short, so you can't really lean backwards without tumbling over the rear of the couch and bringing the cushions with you.  It's not a couch I would encourage any more than 2 people to enjoy at a time unless you're all willing to sit upright side-by-side.  I'm lucky I live alone without a relationship or any love of pets so I can lay out on this baby Mariah Carey-style and ignore how little support the back of the couch provides.
