About 2 months ago i purchased 4 pieces from Home Reserve to form a sectional configured as 1 3 seating.

My purchase was for an apt I purchased that I will live in about a year while my new place is built. At that time i will sell the apt and toss the sectional or convert it to rental property.

I was attracted to Home Reserve because it is not a full size piece of furniture. It requires less space than a futon and looks alot better, although is it not as contemporary as I would like.

Assembly was easy, although i reinforced the corners with metal corner braces $4.99 at my local hardware store.

Contrary to other comments, i find the cushions too soft. As a result, If i do not sit properly, e.g., forward on the cushion, sideways, etc. the cushion presses down against the wood and is then hard. (FYI, i am 6"1" and 185 lbs which i would consider pretty average).

Is this cheap furniture, no question. But given the price and purpose i think it is a fantastic value. To use a car analogy: Most every one would consider a Lexus to be high quality, but not everyone can afford a Lexus, Toyota offers a Corolla at a fraction of the cost and the quality is not the same as the Lexus, but I think most people would consider it a good value. Same goes here.
