If you are over 50 or not a gymnast, I would choose another sofa. This is only 12 inches off the floor! Yes, I should have paid more attention but I didn’t. It is 6 inches shorter than a standard seat and as you can see, the ottomancoffee table is 5 inches higher. Luckily my husband is handy and is building a 6 year inch frame. Serious flaw in my opinion. Maybe for a frat house crash sofa but not practical or comfortable at that height. It feels like a Barbie sofa when seated and your knees at your armpits. It is sturdy and the color is nice. Other than the height it is great.
