I needed a new sofa but didn't want to spend $2000. This is a great, low-key sofa that is a perfect addition to our living room. I sprayed it with scotchgard  as I have 2 young children and a dog and a cat. This has held up well. The cushions aren't very soft and they kind of dip back so if you have someone who loves sleeping on a sofa, this might not be for them. But I am happy with it as an interim piece of furniture until I can get better items once the kids are older. It has a low profile and makes my living room feel more spacious while also giving us more seating options then we had with our previous, traditional sofa.
