So. It's interesting. I like the overall design and confirmation of the couch. But looks aren't everything. Some of the reviews are right, the back is odd and uncomfortable. The back definitely needs a redesign. My wife likes it. She thinks some throw pillows and a couch throw will make it a bit more comfy. Sorry, but I don't think this couch is worth 500 dollars. One of my bachelor buddies bought a couch from the low price leader for 149.00 and it's definitely more comfortable than this couch. But we went with mid-century modern design through out the house and this fits right in. It may not stay in the living room and go in one of the bed rooms for my cat to lay on. I'm a little disappointed in the quality and comfort at this price point.
