I love this couch! It's a small one but it fits just right with our other couch. We keep it open because it's more comfortable that way and gives us leg room. Because the back is so small, sitting with my feet down feels like I'm a giant. The lounge factor is what I appreciate. Plus the storage under the chaise is great for extra blankets and pillows. Yes, it's firm, but my back doesn't mind. Easy assembly.
