These mix-and-match modular pieces are very sturdy, very comfortable, very attractive, and the fabric is very durable.The storage spaces in the chairs is surprisingly large and the springs from the chairs doesn't catch on the things I put in there.The arm/backrest mechanism for leaning back is cool and i like the varying height because it makes room for plushy pillows and provides different comfort levels for different times of day or whoever's sitting there.Great options for a transition from a traditional big ol' sofa.Also a plus, if your dog gets the zooms and tends to vault onto the couch, the backrests won't collapse.Love them.
