So I just spent the morning pulling all the covers off the cushions and fluffing the down and thought to myself, I need someone to remind me, no matter how comfortable, I should NEVER buy a down filled couch again. Don't get me wrong, I love my Robert Michael sectional but I live in a one bedroom condo and this sectional belongs in a family room, not a living room. At least not a living room that you want to look clean and pulled together. I've had my sectional for almost 7 years and it is still in good shape, but it is high maintenance. I had mine special ordered with a tweed like fabric. If I could go back and do it again I'd pick a light color canvas or denim type material. I think it would help hold the shape better and have cleaner lines. All in all it really is the most comfortable couch I've ever owned, just wish I had a bigger house with a family room
