I am so happy with this purchase! Although the seat it is not as wide with the back cushions on as I was hoping, there is still plenty of room!  And with the back cushions off, you could easy sleep comfortably. I am 5'7" and can lay with my legs stretched out on the couch, which is a major plus! The legs are easy to attach on your own, and although it may have been easier with someone helping, I was able to do it by myself. I love this mid-century modern couch!
