Could anyone who has had this couch for over a year with small children attest to durability of framework/fabric please? Thank you!

I don't have kids but I sat down a little hard and the wood broke. I've had the couch 1 1/2 and just bought a new one because it doesn't stand up to much.

Hi. I ordered this futon a little over a few months ago and I have already purchased a new one. The main seat wore to the springs already, the leather has broken open in the same area and the trundle pops out of place very easily and often. Both while being fully elevated and slightly with the easiest tug. I wish I'd never spent this much money on a waste of materials. I would suggest you purchase something else in all honesty. I can email pictures to show you further if you doubt it. (It is really nice the first few days, and lovely to look at before it tears open in the seat.) Worst money I ever threw away

I agree with everyone who replied. The couch is 'firm' but not in an uncomfortable way. We've had ours for a few months and it's softened a bit, but it's still great.

Its one of the most durable fabrics I've found. I've only had it one year. But its lasted through a hot summer and very cold montana winter with no problems. Still looks brand new really. i'm guessing 10 years. Which would be alot of time I'd think.

We didn't have any problems, just kept pushing it down and zipping a little at time. Love the furniture and it is holding up well with kids!

We have 3 dogs, 2 of them jack russels, and the sound their claws make on the couch is horrible, but we don't have a scratch, rip or tear and they're on it everyday. We've had the couch since March is all and it's a very nice, easy to clean microfiber material. Can almost guarantee you'll love it!

I've only had my Queen cover & split box spring covers since Jan., but the fabric is tightly woven & the construction seems VERY durable to me. The sides & bottom are of the same fabric (for mattress cover) and when pulled have a bit of a stretch to them -and the sides are pulled /kept together by a zipper on all 3 sides. The construction is superb. It seems logical with the tightness of the zipper joining the fabric (so no bugs come thru the stitching around the cover sides) that normal wear & tear from adult weight & kids tossing & turning on your mattress would NOT result in tearing. It was hard for us to zip it up (it takes two people) and the fabric was strong - if it were weak fabric, we would have seen small tears around where it was sewn due to our handling to make sure the twin box springs (& queen mattress cover) were tight & secure. I've also sewn clothes & repaired my kids clothes most of my life, and this product's fabric feels & seems quite durable. Q: Is your wood platform surface unfinished or does it have a rough surface that could produce splinters or tearing in the fabric's bottom, if there was lots of movement (e.g., jumping by kids) that could produce sliding of the mattress on the platform during use? How smooth is your large sheet of wood to touch? If it is not rough, you should have no problems. If you still have doubts, I'd suggest you contact the company directly if you are really concerned. The company should be able to give you the technical fabric specs (e.g., just like threads count for sheets determine their durability). Hope this helps.

Mine is destroyed after 2 years - kept inside in the winter, but not covered in the summer - I'm guessing UV is the culprit, but that hardly makes the sofa "all-weather" then does it...

So far, we haven't run into any issues. I think we have had ours for about 9 months and its holding up well so far (no sinking thoroughly the bottom. I think the sinking happens more when the slats are not so close together. We had that exact problem with this very nice wooden frame we had before this one and that was the exact reason we got the better than a box spring frame. And we are glad we did. We are getting better sleep and not waking up all sore. I would recommend it.

Yes, it is funny as we have this chair for our now 3 1/2 year old. He loves it but we keep it in the living room and adults regularly sit in it. I think it is wearing out a little faster as a result, but it is holding up pretty well and looks good for a piece of kids furniture.

Our has withstood hours of pretend kitchen and tea party play and our 3 yr old is not gentle! I think it will hold well without scratching. We have had for a year and has no scratches yet.

I have been using mine for my 2.5 year old since he was 4 months! Love it, I wash the cover in the washing machine, so it started tearing after a year (to be expected), and it fits under our table just fine.

We have two chihuahuas who are each 9 lbs and the material has held up to them treating the couch like they own it. We've had the couch about a year and over all I'm very pleased with it, especially considering the price. We have one place on one of the arms that is showing a little wear in the front, it seems to be a place we accidentally rub against when coming to sit down. It's a comfortable couch (seemed a bit stiff at first). Again, for the price for the size of this couch I think it was a great but for us.

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.

Mine is 20 months old. It is the thick'ribbed, chenille corduroy fabric and very soft and plush. Very comfortable. I'll see if I can get close up pics with a ruler for reference. It does not sound as though we have the same chair.
