I purchased this last summer and absolutely love it! I would totally recommend this for someone petite. It's comfortable to sit on (not too deep) and I can stretch my legs out on the seat with my back against one of the curves. It's held up well and everyone that comes over compliments it. I'm in a 300 sf studio and it fit the space very well. I vacuum it with a dust buster to keep it tidy as it can get dusty.
