ETA - we've had this couch now for two and a half years and I'm coming back to buy another for a different room because it's that awesome. My now 8 year old has had this one in her playroom and it's holding up amazingly well. I just took a nap on it with the baby the other day and decided we definitely need one for the baby's room now.I was so hesitant to spend so much on a kid's sofa but the dimensions of this item fit perfectly where we needed and the color options were awesome so, I took a chance. It arrived in great condition and faster than expected. Especially given the holiday shopping rush, I was surprised and happy to get it a little early. It is exactly as described - it poofed up pretty quickly (we let it sit overnight just because but I think it was done "growing" after about an hour), the color is beautiful and vibrant (we got the pink), and all the pieces fit together snuggly and easily. The material is soft and cozy and the stuffing is SOLID. Not so hard to be uncomfortable but hard enough that a grown up can get up and down from it easily. I was quite pleasantly surprised by the firmness, actually. The whole thing is pretty light weight but it stays put nicely. We've used it in all it's configurations and it's really easy to flip it into the different shapes. I'm still curious to see how it holds up over time but it seems very well made so I don't anticipate any issues. I'm really very, very happy with this item.
