My wife and I went back and forth for quite awhile on what to get for our small, front living area.  A sofa would've been too large for our space so we searched for a loveseat that fit our style and budget.  I ordered this once I saw it, without the spousal approval (risky!!!).  It was easy to put together and my wife likes it a lot.  Everyone who comes over comments on how much they like our loveseat!  Definitely a great purchase.
