I really like this seat. I bought it to go with 2 Newport Lounges, and it compliments them perfectly. It's maybe a little small for where I put it- amazing since the room it is in calls for small furniture- so it is a truly compact piece. I think with a bit of moving around, or some end tables, it will be perfect though. The color is a bit different than in the photos- less of a pale blue and more of a grey-blue-green, very pretty in person. It is comfortable for me at 5'9", the cushions are nice and firm.  Shipping was fast, assembly was a bit tricky but no harder than most Ikea. I was able to assemble it by myself.
