It looks a like shown.   The cushions could be softer.  It  didn't recline well on the left side.  I moved it on it's side and all looked fine.   It is working better as time goes on.  It seems sturdy.  And sized as measurements state.  The reclining leg portion?  Is not long.  As it's fully connected.  It does not go out far. I'm 5'4".  My feet just hang off the edge.  So, I don't think it would be great for a taller person.  It's nice looking and I'm glad I got it.
