This couch is beautiful and works perfectly in my sitting room.  It isn't the most comfortable, but it might get better as we sit in it more.  We put it in a room that doesn't get much use, though, so it is more of a decorative piece than a functional piece for us.  The couch back was a little difficult to slide onto the body when putting together, and the couch is so light that it slides on our hardwood floor when we go to sit on it so you will need to add some sort of a gripper on the bottom or place against a wall.  I will say the couch looks smaller in person than it looks in the photos so make sure to take measurements before you buy.  For us, it works perfect!
