This sofa is wonderful! I would recommend this sofa. I put it in a room that is open concept with our kitchen and dining and den and it's great. I have it in the middle of the room not against the wall and the back is very neat and tidy. This is a comfy, slouchy look so if you want it to be tailored on the sides and skirt this one is not that. It is however a very comfortable and classic sofa.
