The couches are initially comfortable, but the cushions quickly ware down. The center crack on both couches splits and doesn't return to center, meaning if you accidentally sit on the crack one or more times it widens. Over the first 3 weeks, my couch cushions (only being used to watch tv 1hr a day mind you) had more than 1-1/4" of shrinkage (the cushion went down that much). Considering I weigh 150 and am the only person who used the couch in that time frame, that's ridiculous. would not recommend this couch despite its stylish initial appeal.
