This is a great couch. Price is fantastic and if you are on a budget this is the couch to get. The padding is comfortable. Assembly required but it is not difficult at all. I would recommend this purchase to anyone on a budget looking for a modern look to complete your space. Add some pillows and a throw and instantly you create a comfy home environment that invites you in and makes your look complete. So happy with our purchase. My girlfriend and I snuggle up for movie watching by converting it into a bed. Our dog joins us too and it's just perfect.
