Love this sofa!  It looks amazing in our formal living room/study, just what I was looking for at a fraction of the price that other Augustine cost!  The cushions are very stiff but this is not our "main sofa" so it doesn't really matter to me.  I'm sure that they will soften up with wear and time.  Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.  Pros: cost, tufting, overall look of the productCons: stiff seating, some fly away strings from around the stitching areas (cut them off and it's no big deal).
