I love the look of this sofa. Much like previous reviews the seat cushions are very firm. A couple of problems. There was a piece broken off the connector from base and there are minor nicks in the wooden armrests. Also, I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong but I was unable to fit the nub thingys through the connector in the base. I had to improvise with some things laying around the house. Other than that the sofa is gorgeous. And a lot bigger than the one I used to have.
