This couch is everything and more! I got it in gray and the chaise lounge is perfect for exactly that - lounging. It's long enough to fit four people comfortably, even five, so great for hosting. It's firm yet comfortable. The couch came in two huge boxes, and I recommend having someone help you take them out put together as it was a lot for one person, but it was doable! The only reservation I have is for anyone that has a cat, this couch may not be the best for you because my little guy's claws have gotten caught a few times which leaves some nicks in the fabric. Even when I cut his claws this has happened so something to be mindful of.
