This sofa looks lovely, and it is quite comfortable. The seat is a little shallow for lounging, but I think as the cushion and pillows get broken in, it will get better. It was quite simple to put together, except that the pegs in the back legs did not fit into the holes available for them - I ended up removing the pegs, so I am a bit concerned it will not be sturdy enough without them and I may need to take apart the couch to add some additional support there. I am mostly giving 3 stars because I had shipping delays that were very inconvenient and I was not able to satisfactorily get help from customer support. Also, the box came severely damaged. Nothing seems to have been damaged in transit, but it was disconcerting.
