After all the reviews that say it was like a “toy couch” we were very nervous eso decided to take it out of the box before we actually moved into the new apartment and “dry-fitted” the assembly just to check for size and qualitysturdiness. It is PERFECT (at least for those of us who read the measurements in advance.) This loveseat is going into a very small living room (roughly 10’ x 10’ so we needed a small couch that wouldn’t eat up the entire room. We are very pleased with its size and it’s study high-quality build. It’s a beautiful design and will go perfectly with any bright colored accent chair should you so choose )
