We've had this couch for over 4 yr. We got it already used. It has survied being in a college house with 6 roommates and is now surviving a Toddler. One leg has broken off and has been replaced with a can of chicken. Duct tape in on back cushions to hold them in place. Duct tape on the corners to keep the metal pieces that are sticking out from scraping the walls. The seat cushions don't have a cover...so the foam is what you see. There are rips and tears all over. We soooo need a new couch!
