I’m so glad the other sectional was out of stock bc this fit our space perfectly and it’s become a favorite space to hang out in. We love the firmness of cushions and how deep they go. Perfect for naps but also being able to sit crossed legged comfortably. The color is just perfect and changes to various shades of olive green with the lighting. It definitely can easily sit 9 people as described (we had a party and folks of all sizes were hanging on the sofa with plenty of space between them).
