Feeling the arms and backing of the couch, you can tell this is a cheap couch. However, the cushions are very plush and comfortable, and the size of the couch is absolutely perfect for my one-bedroom apartment! After having this couch in my home for a couple weeks now, I can tell it will last me a solid couple of years, if not longer. Would recommend to those moving out for the first time, or those with limited funds. I ordered in the teal and it's slightly more green than I anticipated, but I still really love the colour.
