My husband and I spent a while searching for the perfect couch.  I am quite a tall woman at 6'1", so it is important for me to have a couch deep enough for my legs.  After reading through several reviews, we bought this couch assuming it would be deep enough.  It is not.  It hits my legs mid thigh.  My husband is 5'9" and several friends who are shorter say the couches are perfect for their legs.  The couches look very nice and are quite comfortable.  I just have to sit at an angle.  We've only had them about a week and we love them so far and have gotten many compliments.  They're just not the best for someone above 5'9".
