I'm curious as to how well this couch holds up to pets and children?

I will say that the leather is very firm leather, unlike traditional "softer" sided leather. The sits are FIRM and comfortable. I would say it will do just fine with children, don't know what type pets you talking about about.

The legs are solid and sturdy. We've had 4-5 adults on the couch with no problem. We don't tend to jump around, but the legs hold up as far as we know.

I've only had mine since mid June but with a toddler and two dogs, still look like new. Pretty durable but be careful putting together - my husband did screw a screw too far and blemished wood finishe on one of them. Luckily small and not noticeable.

A little bit, yes. It's held up really well, actually, and that's with everyday use with two kids and a cat on it, so I recommend it.

Yes it holds up well. I had 5 full grown cats on it and it held up well for 2 years then somehow the top condo came lose. Now I have 2 18 lb cats that love to use the existing shelves. I don't know how the top came lose but I'm sure it was because more than three cats weighing 11 and over we're using it good strong condo.

I don't move mine a lot, but my 56 lb. dog sits in it, and I've never had any problem with its sturdiness. I feel it should hold up well with three cats.

The leather holds up well. I have two lab dogs that jump up on the furniture. The only time the leather scratched was when my one dog tried to make a bed on arm of couch and was constantly scratching it. Other than that, the leather doesn't scratch from just them jumping up on it. It's pretty tough. I'm overall happy with the set. It was pretty firm when I got it but it softens up.

I have had this for 6 months now. And it was used for a bed, daily, for about 4 of those months, and is now in the living room where family and a 4 year old uses\jumps on it. I have found no sagging. It looks about as good as it did when we bought it, other then on the right sitting area (looking at it), it did indent a little where I sat. I try not to take that personally. *smiles. I'm not sure if that happens a lot or not, and it really isn't that noticeable to people causally sitting on it. Other then that, it's holding up fine and it has heavy to normal everyday use. All in all I've very happy with this Futon, it cleans up real nice too!

I will have had mine for two years on September 8. I have two cats (though one cat uses it more often than the other) and their lounger is still in excellent condition. I just flip it from one side to another every now and again. I like the idea of slicing it down the middle and rebinding it, but I will just probably buy a new one (or one of these other new products PetFusion has released) when they're ready. So -- this is a long-lasting, attractive piece.

We've had around 340-350 lbs on it (2 people) and its held up just fine. Didn't lose any air after a couple of nights use either. Awesome air bed/sofa!

Yes it holds up great! My husband even falls asleep with our 4 year old on it.

I bought this set about 2 years ago and it has held up well. It is REAL WOOD and that was one of the reasons I bought it. I have 2 boys now 10 and 16 and they are rough with furniture. It has normal wear and tear but has held up really well.

It would be a squeeze. We usually have three kids and one adult max for comfort. But I'm not sure that many people could for on any single couch.

We've had ours for many months now and it is holding up very well - looks the same and is as sturdy as the day we assembled it. We have two cats and they spend a modest amount of time on it. I think they'd like it better if the platforms and the floor of the cubbies were all plusher; the fabric covering doesn't offer any cushioning.

I feel it is durable especially for the price. I have had my set about 4 years and just this last year the back of the couch has ripped. The rip is due to my two German Shepherds laying their heads on the back to look out my picture window. I knew when I bought the set it was going to take some wear and tear from my kids and my pets and it has definitely held up except for the rip. I'm not sure a super expensive couch would have been any different. In all, I think this set is sturdy and comfortable.

Suzi, I've only had it 8 months but we've used it as our main couch...my 5 year old son and myself with numerous friends and family. The cushions start out very firm and do get softer but completely keep their shape and consistency (no lumps). My son has jumped on it, played on it and made pilow forts...

It is surprisingly sturdy. My dog is 9lbs. My cat is anout 10lbs or more and I would feel comfortable using it for her as well.
