This is cute futon…..for young kids or if you are on the really petite and short side. It’s even shorter than the measurements. I switched the legs and put 10 inch legs on and it’s barely at 15” seat height. With that said, I would not find this comfortable to use as a couch or lounging spot. My 6 year old however, loves it. 
Other complaint is the fabric. The rust color is really like a light orange pumpkin or ripe cantelope. Not a dark orange-red. Mine arrived with spots that feel hard like dried glue that I can’t get out.
