Update: the seats have become very comfortable after they fully expanded. The velcro issue I discussed in my original review was actually lack of observation on my part. I noticed when I went to add velcro to the ottoman cushions that there actually is velcro...very hood quality velcro strips, actually...and on ALL the cushions, both seats and backs. It is covered up with a matching black material that needs to be ripped off to reveal it. Now my cushions don't move. I absolutely love everything about this sofa!This quickly arrived in 6 boxes over the course of a few short days. I was really impressed with how quickly this arrived....If I had gone down to one of the big box furniture stores in my area (there are several), I would have had to wait longer for this to be delivered from them locally. It took approximately an hour after unboxing for the assembly to be complete. I did the majority of the assembly myself, and my teenage daughter assisted with holding getting the back pieces attaced to 3 sections, which was just helpful because I have limited hip mobilty and she could get a better hold of those pieces to attach. The feet are plasitc, but sturdy, and look like painted wood. The ottomans provide spacious storage and perfect for keeping blankets, board games, etc.The material is soft and velvety smooth. It has a very tight luxurious weave. We had a small spill in the first couple days and the water wiped away clean and dry right away. The seat cushions are bit more firm than I prefer, but my husband likes them. The back cushions are softer. The ottoman top cushions are also firm, and they do move a little easier than I would prefer, so I am considering velcro strips to hold them in place better.Overall, this is a beautiful sectional sofa and fits my space really well. It seems very well made, sturdy, strong, with good materials. I would compare this to the living room furnishings I have purchased from furniture stores in their mid-grade departments, along the name brand lines of Broyhill, and definitely superior to Ashley...I have purchased many pieces of furniture in these quality ranges for my own home and my STRs and offices over the years, and feel I can accurately give these comparisons. Customer service was friendly and quick to respond to a question I had about shipping (only 2 boxes arrived in the first shipment, and they provided me with the tracking information of the remaining boxes).I considered provided a 4 star based on the cushions being extra firm (they do expand and get a little softer), and the ottoman cushions sliding...but as my husband likes the firm, that is really a personal comfort thing and not worth detracting from the quality of sofa. As for the ottoman cushions sliding, they don't slide so much as to be an issue...again, its just my preference and velcro will easily solve the issue for probably $2. Overall, especially at this price, this sofa is a steal, beautiful, sturdy, well made, provides both ample storage and plenty of seating or room to stretch out, arrives quickly, and goes together easily.
