After reading the other reviews (only a few at the time) I knew this was the sofa for us. While others complained about the sofa being stiff, it was only initially stiff for us. We have a big family and over the holidays at least 16 people sat on the sofa, 4 of whom fell asleep on it at various times during the holiday week. The sofa has softened up and we just love it! It is true white..not yellowish at all, and the tufting is very tight. It fits my decor to a T and everyone who sees it says it's beautiful...because it is. This was my first time ever buying a sofa on line and Great Offer Stock did not disappoint with this sofa! The back of the sofa is a few inches lower than some traditional sofas but even my 6'4 son sits on it without complaint. This sofa is also super sexy in a Mad Men kind of way and I have it situated in my living room with gold accented furniture. Seriously...if Ms. Thing could snap her fingers...she would...she is an absolutely gorgeous statement piece...all by her self!
