We needed a small couch, and that's precisely what we got.  I'm not wholly condfident this loveseat will withstand the rigors of life with kids;  I swear I hear creaks and cracks as my average-sized 9 year old flumps down on it.  But for the money and the space available it's a good deal, and if it survives I'll move it to my kiddos' bedroom for them to enjoy.
