I had concerns that a couch this huge and stylish for an under $1900 sale price would feel cheap or flimsy, or have poor workmanship. The price vs. looks felt "too inexpensive to be good". I'm very happy to report that this is not the case at all. It feels as expensive as it looks, and is very comfortable. There are no creaks and it just feels solid and durable. Only time will tell how it wears, but after a few days I'm very happy with it.
