This is way deeper than we thought, but we love it! Its sturdy, well made, you can sit with or without the pillows on it. This is definitely a curl up piece, hubby and I love to get cozy on it and watch TV, the grandkiddos fit too! But if you get white, be prepared if you have kiddos! The seat portion is not slip covered and if you get any markings on it, they are difficult to get out, Im not sure mine came scotch guarded. We would recommend and purchase again! We even took a window out to get it into our RV! We got it on a sale price, and it felt like a STEAL!!! Dont think twice, get it!
