The back of this couch is way too low to sit comfortably. I am 5’6” and if I were any taller my feet would hang off of the chaise, and the back of the couch only comes up to my mid back just under my shoulder blades, which isn’t comfortable for my upper back or neck. The cushions are very firm and are holding up well, but I rarely sit on this couch for any long period of time because I can’t relax or sit back and get comfortable. My dog and cat love it though. Currently looking to already replace it and it’s been under a year.
