The back cushions are indeed still wrinkled, as another review noted. The back is straight up, no incline of any kind. It is rather severely firm, but another reviewer noted that as a plus, and I am inclined to neutrality on the matter. I like it firm, too, but then I don't spend a lot of time in front of the TV. Nor do I want to. The worst is the back of the couch. It's pretty weird and not very well fitted. I'm going to have to buy a couch table to confuse the eye, and then this cheap piece of furniture will be redeemed by its attractive color. If like us you need a couch to fill a certain space but also like us find the overprice and overluxury of other options somewhat distasteful, this is a good choice.
