I am absolutely in love with this sofa sectional. We purchased it for our new home in October and thought it looked absolutely fabulous! But, weren't sure how we felt about the comfort of the hard cushions? However, I would like to let you know, within months the cushions were softening up (but, not so much they were loosing shape or looking cheap) and six months later, it is perfect and I find myself (as well as my husband) falling asleep on it all the time. When I first purchased it, I made a house rule that only adults were to sit on it -- no food or drink and the dog was to stay as far away as possible. Well, that rule didn't last long. But, the sofa looks as good as the day we put it together! (Did I mention I have a 94 lb. Bull Mastiff that drools and slobbers? No, she's not allowed on the couch, but she doesn't need to be on it to make a mess,) A slightly damp rag cleans spots very well. I receive compliments galore on this sectional and people think we've spent a small fortune on it...so, the for the purchase price, you can't go wrong! (and, it will be our little secret) (wink).
