This is a sweet little love seat!  It is comfortable.  The seat is higher than many sofas, which was what I was looking for, because it sits in front of a desk and I didn't want those who sit in it to have to sit a lot lower than the person on the other side of the desk.  I think it is perfect for either a formal living room or a family room. While it may seem stiff at first, I think it is very comfortable.  The fabric is beautiful and I think it will clean up easily if dirtied.  It seems to be a very high quality fabric.  I love this little love seat, and if I had room I'd order the sofa to go with it!!!
