The picture is scaled to make the sofa seem larger than it is. I assembled it and was taken aback at how tiny the sofa is. I decided to return it and purchased another sofa from an actual furniture store for only $50 more- a much sturdier sofa that would be comfortable to an average size person. That being said, the return process was very easy but not cheap $45 return fee and I have to take it to a Fed Ex return center. As far as aesthetics, it was cute and the fabric was nice. It would be good for a small sitting area or a teenager's bedroom. Just beware of the pictures and how they tend to make  the furniture look bigger.
