I absolutely hated this sofa when it first arrived. We are a tall family and this sofa is certainly not tall friendly. It’s low to the ground but worse is the back space, it’s insufficient and doesn’t allow our entire backs or heads to rest on the sofa. Before the company that delivered it came to pick it up for return, I thought I’d try a few things since the return shipping cost . I placed it against a wall, bought some pillows and a nice throw for decor and now it’s a keeper. It’s still not a sofa to lay back and sleep on but that’s what beds are for, lol. It’s so pretty and even though it’s low it’s still very sturdy, soft and firm.
