Gorgeous piece of furniture! It looks exactly like the photos. Some reviewers indicated the couch was short, I didn't mind the height. The back is shorter but I think it adds to the moderness of the construction. It's a beautiful and firm couch. If you're looking for a couch that feels like a pillow, this is not for you. It was delivered in about 9 huge and heavy boxes, but all the pieces snap and lock together. The most difficult part for my husband was carrying in all the heavy boxes!
