The cushions on this thing were perfectly supportive with a firm softness and the structure is extremely sturdy. More than I was expecting, no creaks. I’m able to lounge on it longways comfortably with the addition of a throw pillow. I was bummed at first the backside of this doesn’t flush against the wall because of the design of the back legs, so there is a small gap. But I rearranged where it lives so that wasn’t an issue anymore but it’s something to note while you are planning. Love the color, have gotten many compliments from friends as well.
