It’s hard but beautiful.  I love it snd it perfect for my studio. I didn’t want to get anything too comfortable because when I take a break, it shouldn’t be that long. The lack of comfort is a reminder to get back to work. Everyone who comes in to the space is really impressed by this gorgeous little sofa. It gives the impression that I live a wild and fancy life and they think my studio is the best place to hang out. Then their bums go numb from my stiff sofa I explain my reasoning, and again it’s a giggle and it’s excused! You should certainly get one. It will give you a wild and fancy life!
