Great item for the price. Very easy to assemble. Personally I did not find the cushions too hard, as some reviewers are saying, but that is all up to personal preference. No, you don't just "sink in" to this couch, but I find that a firmer seat means less body aches in the long run. The fake leather is good quality; seems easy to clean and not too delicate. I hope it will hold up nicely over time.
