This loveseat is larger than I anticipated, not because I didn't measure ahead of time but I think the extra wide arms made it seem larger and chunkier. It does look good for casual look, especially with the corduroy fabric. The seats are very firm. We wish it was plushier but we're hoping overtime it will soften up. By the way, the extra wide arms are helpful for us because we currently do not have enough space in the room for a table. So, we use the arms as makeshift tables.
