The sofa is more narrow than deep, so its not something you can cuddle with someone comfortably. When seated, it will fit 3 adults comfortably and 5 adults if you cram. It was very easy to build and lighter than expected over all. This sofa looks like it will last 3 or less years depending on use and weight of the person. If you want something long term, then this is NOT the sofa for you.
