I purchased this sofa (and the two matching accent chairs) for my formal living room. Our formal living room and dining room are connected, and we wanted to use the same color scheme for both rooms (chocolate brown, ivory, and apple green). When I came across this sofa, i knew I had to have it. I ordered it and it came very fast! It was very easy to assemble and it looks great in our living room. My husband and I are more of contemporary/modern types when it comes to decorating and this fits our style and budget perfectly. With the two matching chairs we ordered, the set looks like we paid a lot more $$$ for it than we actually did. All i did was add a few accent pillows, nice modern end tables on each end of the sofa and some nice curtains and voila, our living room was complete! We get so many compliments on this set and we are very happy with our purchase. We don't sit on this everyday, as it is in the formal living area, but I believe the quality is good enough for everyday use. Our formal living room is the first room of our house so this set is a definite eye catcher! You will not be disappointed if you purchase.
