What a lovely sofa! I bought this for my office and it was very easy to assemble. Everyone who sees it just oohs and ahhs at it! I get a ton of compliments. It gets moderate use and is wearing well. I've had it over a year now and it is holding up beautifully. I use it for light reading and reclining. It's perfect! The workmanship is what I would expect for a sofa of this kind and it was worth what I paid for it. I would not recommend for heavy use, but for moderate to light use, this is definitely a win!
