I purchased this sofa to fit a small wall in my apartment. Given that it's 78 in wide, this is a great option other than a love seat or full size couch. I'm very tall, 6 ft 3 in, and this sofa provides wonderful support for my back and shoulders and my long legs. The cushions seem firm yet comfortable. I appreciate that both sides recline. You can fit three people comfortably on this sofa. Four people is a bit of a stardine can. Overall I'm happy with this purchase. This is one of the least expensive sofas and one of the most comfortable in my opinion. Originally this was out of stock for about 2 months. I'm glad I waited it was worth it.
