Rating would be 5 stars but I found one important safety issue.
This sectional is exactly the size, shape and comfort my wife and I were looking for. After assembling which was relatively easy, we placed it in middle of our living room. The unit is sitting in the middle of the room with nothing placed on the back side of the section. We loved the comfort it gave us while we sitting and taken a nap on it.
Until our two year old got on it and was climbing around the back support is when we discover an critical issue. Between the back support, there is a gap. The gap is sufficiently large that a toddles neck could be accidently fall into and trap in between. Because we dont have any sitting on the back side of the sectional, a toddle could fall and trap his neck with the body falling on the back side of the back support. While our 2yr old did not fall into this case, she did get her neck into the slot with her body on the cushion side. We were lucky that we were sitting with her when this happened. Since then, we have move the section with the back side sitting against the wall; so she would not have the chance of falling on the back side of the sectional.
We love the sectional and the comfort of it. However, anyone with a toddler might want to take note of this issue. If you still love it as we are, Have something on the back side or place it next to a wall to be safe. Hope this helps anyone else with a kids and consider this sectional. Perfect.
