This is a great loveseat! A lot of reviewers said it was small, but it is a full 60 in., the same as my other loveseat. The height of the back is not as tall, but that worked for us because we placed it under a window. I was amazed to see this square box at my door wondering how it could contain the loveseat. They way they packed and shipped was ingenious. Yes, you have to assemble, but it was very simple. You bolt a few things together, fluff out the cushions and screw in the legs. If you are afraid of assembling, don't buy it. If you've put a few things together in your life, you will be pleased. The faux leather looks good and matches an accent chair that I got cheap from Wayfair! The loveseat is sturdy and has some weight to it. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
