It is slightly smaller than I imagined it to be, but the measurements are accurate.  It looks very nice, and is a beautiful accent in my home, providing a bit of extra seating.  It is not comfortable enough to sit on for watching a full movie or something like that.  Even for my family, which every member is smaller than average, it becomes hard and uncomfortable after 10 minutes or so. Update:  did not last long with dogs in the house.  The "Faux Leather" cracked and ripped terribly.  Would be good in someone's office or a place where it is more for looks than useage.
