I bought this sectional for my living room. It has firm seating, and looks as good as it can for the price. The only difficulty we had assembling it was connect the cushions that create the L-shape. They still will not connect so they slide when someone sits on the corner cushion. Overall this sectional (in black) is cute, darker than pictured and I recommend it for a room that is not used often because it does not provide a very comfortable seating.
