I wanted a larger couch but wanted the same look as I designed my apartment around my original sapphire blue, velvet, tufted couch. The original couch was only 70” and too small so I upgraded to this one and it’s gorgeous and the perfect size! Anything larger would have been too overwhelming for my apartment. The velvet feels so good, the blue is gorgeous, and yes the couch is firm but not in a bad way, personally. I loveeeee this couch so much! Definitely an upgrade from my last couch in  
so many ways. Set up was easy, screw the legs and place the cushions! Also, three adults can fit comfortably on this. Love, love, LOVE this pretty couch!
