this is the funniest joke of a couch to funny my feet went so high up and I mean High when I sat down I sure didn't expect that! It sits back and is a V shape leaned so far back I need a grip bar to get off it. Id send back but my ol man likes it so to the man cave it goes. I hate it. Its huge and is better down as bed, plenty of room for him he is 6'3 and be great for guest. It also seems like the back could break if couple biggies on it, it moved quit a bit with just us on it . its only $250 so is what it is
