This set (love seat and sofa) are every bit as elegant as the photo shows. I bought it for our living room,  which receives light use, but is part of a great room. The set is very pleasing to the eye. It is a little bulky, but then so is most furniture currently. A couple of things that you should consider: (1) the seat height is about 3 inches higher than standard; I am 5'6" and my feet cannot touch the floor while sitting on either piece. (2) The quality is pretty shotty in places where you don't see it. For example, upholstery is poorly stapled on the underside, and the 96" sofa has no middle support. Need I say that you get what you pay for? This furniture is an excellent value for the person looking for something that will be seen more than used.  Pros: Excellent value Cons: Bulky (96" sofa is a bear to move into house), finishing quality is poor
