I am in love with this sectional! I put it together myself but I do recommend having someone to help. As you can see in this picture it has a timeless beauty that I am sure will never go out of style! I also sprayed it down with 3 cans of waterproof spray as to prevent any mishaps. I bought the spray at shoe carnival. I have had this sofa for 1 day and I absolutely adore it! I have already received so many compliments!
