The sofa is sturdy. That way my biggest concern, but it doesn't flex, creak or wobble; that's good. The upholstery finish is not nearly as "textured" as it appears in the photos, it's more monotone and hard in its finish. Finally, it is not a comfy sit, as the fill is extremely firm. This is a great waiting-room or office type piece but you're not exactly going to want to lounge on it for long.
