This sofa is stunning. The double chaise is perfect for us with plenty of space in the middle for our four legged family members. This is not a floofy, poofy sink right in kind of sofa. It's rather firm, which is exactly what I wanted. Some comfy pillows, my back is in heaven. One thing, it's a velvety material, and will show movement or handprints or whatever, just brush the material the other way. It was easy to put together, screw on the legs, slide the parts into each other, less than an hour, and I'm a 125 lb girl with not much experience putting things together.
