It shockingly comfortable, cushions have a good spring to them. I know it was going to be small upon ordering, but it still shocked me a bit when i put it together how short (height-wise) it is. I am 5'5" and can lay on it, but i do stretch out over the armrests. The fabric is also a great quality, nice and soft. We will see how well it holds up with my dog and all his fur. Great for the price as it is my first couch!
