I measured the couch with the given dimensions before ordering, somehow it seems a tad bit bigger - it works for us though, I just took one section and placed against the far wall as a stand alone "chair" (not pictured)
The dogs love it and there is finally room for hubby and I to sit while they're snoozed! It is firm but that's what we were looking for after having an 8 year old Ashley sofa that had worn down to the wood.
