Comfortable, LONG so that my 5'9" frame can stretch out on it without having my head or feet on either arm. You can also remove the back pillows which makes the couch deep enough for spooning with another person. I ordered the blue, which is darker than a royal blue but lighter/brighter than a navy. Oh, and the delivery was more than 2 weeks in advance of the anticipated date, and the gentlemen who delivered it were great! The only con I can think of is that upholstery reminds me of the fabric used by Ikea. It's comfortable, easy to wipe down, sturdy...but not elegant in appearance. All in all I'm happy with it and glad I made the purchase.
