This sofa is beautiful. It has completely transformed our living room. It's much more of a living room sofa than a family room sofa in that it feels a little more formal. It's comfortable but not as deep as the sofa we replaced so that's taking some getting used to. I also tend to feel a little bit perched on it but that may change as it gets broken in a bit. It is a really well made piece of furniture though and a great addition to our living room.
