Lovely. Everyone comments on it. Larger than you would expect with the higher curved sides. It has the perfect firmness and support while inviting you to sit on it - it still "squishes" when you collapse on the cushions. It does creak or squeak nosily when you lean back but it doesn't bother us. I was afraid it would be too light for a family with little kids, but so far it is great - we believe in style AND using our belongings so the color does not hold us back from hosting many people, and families with children. A great value for the price!
