This is a great couch.  The back was a little lower than I thought but to be honest I didn't take out the tape measure when purchasing and would have bought it anyway.  I had read the previous reviews so I knew it would be firm.  Defiantly not a sofa that you "sink into".  But she is beautiful!  I picked the Dark grey so that it wouldn't clash with my light grey Chair.  I love the color!  I had read that it appeared blue... I don't see that in mine.  It also arrived 4 days before promised!!
