My boyfriend and I bought this couch in grey, and is working out just fine for us so far. In all fairness, if you're over 5'9" you're probably not going to be stoked with this couch. The measurements of the couch are accurate, but to give you an idea my boyfriend is 5'9" and I'm 5'1" and the back of the couch comes up to just under my shoulders. But because my boyfriend and I are not very tall, this isn't a problem for us and our backs still feel supported, and we both can lay down comfortably. The couch cushions are a bit prone to wrinkle, but nothing that can't be smoothed out. The worst thing about the couch are the pillows, I don't really get why they come with the couch. Overall though, it's a great couch for the price, and we don't regret the purchase.
