When we first got this couch we were excited. It looked nice and was fairly easy to put together. HOWEVER, the fabric wore out very quickly. The material on the chaise ripped down the seem after the first month and several places seemed to be thinning. The cushions which were very firm on arrival (which is to be expected) quickly became soft in some places but not other and in general became very uneven. It was not very comfortable in general. After about a year of owning this couch we put it on the side of the road for disposal. The next day we realized that a neighbor a few houses down had taken the couch assuming it was still good (it still looked fairly new) and on further inspection also decided to trash it.
