My husband and I bought this couch for our apartment. At first we had decided not to get any "oversized" furniture because we were in an apartment and we did not want to overwhelm our rooms with huge furniture, but this couch was too good of a deal to pass up. I love the look. The couch is a little darker than I think the image shown, but it still works with a neutral theme. The cushions are stiff which can be a good or bad thing depending of preference. I love that the cushions do not sink because it retains its true shape. Overall the comfort of the couch isn't great, but what tufted back couch is? I recommend this couch for someone who is looking for character over comfort. It adds a beautiful touch to our living room.
