I absolutely love my new settee!  I get so many compliments on it.  It is exactly as described and the color (cobalt) is true to color.  It is perfect for a small area/extra seating.  I would not use as a main couch.  It is nice and firm which I like, but still very comfortable.  The velvet is so so soft. My kids even love to lay on it! You can fit two adults very comfortably with extra space to spare.  I even like to put my feet up and read a book.  It's perfect!
