It is a nice couch and suited out immediate needs. I mainly I bought it for functionality in a narrow living room. However, I overlooked how low it is - it's only like 33" tall and I've never had a couch that I couldn't lay my head back onto. But it'll work - we were limited in options because I wanted a chaise. I additional storage is a bonus, but we wanted a reclining option too. It seems comfortable so far and doesn't look cheap.
