Overall clean lines; seat height is low and back height is very low, hits just below the shoulder blades on average height person. Using it in an office as a guest bed; foam construction makes it somewhat of a hard surface, no extra batting or down filled pillows, so it feels like you are sitting on foam, not like a standard sofa cushion. But, if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive (compared to pullout sofa) guest bed not a bad option. Have had guests stay on it, if you like a firm mattress you will like this.
