It's so awkward trying to shop for human furniture with the sales guy breathing down your neck! Luckily, Aspasia and I found a quiet corner of the furniture store to THOROUGHLY test out this couch. We need something sturdy, that will last a LONG time so we had to be rough as hell with this sofa. We found some lumps and bumps but we trampled those out. After many butt drops and working up a thorough sweat we decide on whether this couch will suffice.
