I put the loveseat in front of a small dining table in my studio(sunroom).  It serves me as a little area to read books, draw, have morning coffee, and to have a little tea time with friends occasionally.  The seat is very hard with minimal sinking the way I want for my purpose.  It took me 30 minutes to put them together. It should last for a long time.  My poodle loves it as much as I do!
