Very short and low to the ground, noticeably shorter than our last chesterfield couch of the same design. 

Came with wrong size allen wrech so we have no way to tighten it now and it is in pieces in our living room. Also the requirement to slide two big brackets of the backrest into the side arms is so far impossible due to the roundness of fabric/stuffing in the way of the brackets meeting. We are really bummed out and wished we‘d gone with one of our other options. Now we have a mess of parts to deal with nd at best once we figure it out a very short couch.

It is dark grey too and not light grey as in the photo, so our matching light grey ottoman doesn't match at all. 

The fabric of the couch is soft velvet, so that is the one nice thing.
