It's a little shorter then I thought it would be and firmer, but I bought it for my mom who has back & knee problems and she loves it! I had bought her a more plush couch elsewhere and she couldn't get off it on her own. She doesn't have that problem with this one. It does require two people to assemble but only takes 15min(double ck that everything is slotted properly!) It is absolutely) beautiful and the material is very soft. It didn't come with the throw pillows but I contacted support and I'm waiting for a resolution but we did have some of our own.
