It is heavy, solid and ready for daily use.
I've rebuilt this sofa comfy and deep enough to fall into and binge-watch an entire Netflix series, this is not one of those antique sofas meant only for looking at or the occasional tea party, this will serve as a family's primary sofa!

Loose cushions mean they can get fluffed up and covers can be unzipped and removed for cleaning, loose cushions also means this sofa will be easy to change loose cushions over the years without massive costs and the new springs should be good for another hundred years as were the previous springs which only needed replacing because the originals started to rusted/corroding as this sofa was originally very near the salty humid British coast for most its life (Cornwall).

The off-white fabric is only a "muslin" covering and it is not meant to be a permanent long-term covering though could be used temporarily. The refinishing of the wood removed almost all blemishes though a few still remain as expected in any antique. less
