This couch is pretty much brand new, it does have a 7 year warranty also on it! we have had it for about a year and a half, we have moved and it doesn’t fit in our new living room! Sadly! It’s been a great couch, no rips, no scratches, no stains, it’s supposed to be fully connected, I inserted a picture of it in our old house how it’s supposed to be we just have it separated right now into two couches since we couldn’t fit it in our new living room.
