Visually, this settee is a thing of beauty. The style is quintessential mid-century modern, which I love. I got the emerald color, and it is gorgeous. The settee is sturdy, and went together easily. The only problem is, the seat is pretty narrow, and I'm NOT (lol). I'm able to use it, but it is not as comfortable for me as a larger one would be. This error is my own fault....other reviewers mentioned the diminutive size, but I was convinced that they were talking about height. So, if you are an average-sized person, you won't have any trouble. I am a larger person, and that certainly does not take away from the quality of the settee, or its deserving of a 5-star rating.
