This living room set is very eye-catching and it adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to the room.  The fabric is much darker than what is shown in the photo - and surprisingly, the sofa and loveseat are much smaller than anticipated.  The armrests are about 12 inches deep and of course, this takes away from the seating area.  The cushions are larger too and this leaves a shorter "seating space" overall.  Nevertheless, the seats are firm and the cushions do add a sense of coziness to make it quite comfortable.  I ended up purchasing a separate ottoman to add to the set as this enhanced the comfort while relaxing.
