This is a great deal for the price! The seat and back cushions are soft enough to be very comfortable without that sinking/trapped feel. We got the dark blue-grey; it's chic and matches with bright or pale throw pillows. The top of the backboard isn't really made for leaning heavily on while talking to the person laying it in, but that's a minor point. I'm glad we shopped around so much (SO much) and took a chance on this new, then-unrated sofa. I'm 5'10, and it's comfy to lay on all to myself. It's not  deep enough for 2 to lay down and watch a movie, but you'll both have your "end" seated and plenty of space between for popcorn.
