Beautiful upholstery—it really brightens up my living room! On the other hand, this is the most wretchedly uncomfortable and impractical piece of furniture I've ever owned; the seat is rock hard, and the arms and back are so low that you can't lean on them. You have to prop the couch against the wall so the cushions (or you) don't fall over the back. My brother summed it up pretty accurately: "this is a wimpy little couch-on-a-stick!"
