I should have paid attention to the reviews online. If your not looking for functionality, at all, it will fill the space. Its not something that is at all sturdy. It creaks and shakes and feels like if I eat a slice of bread it will collapse under my weight (im 5'5" 143). It is also the furthest thing from a plush velvet feel. The cushion is tough like a burlap sack of potatoes. There is little to no comfortable back support. 
I would send it back but I don't feel like dealing with the hassle of returning the darn thing. Complete waste of 100+ dollars.
