It is a beautiful little loveseat, but it takes some getting accustomed to. The back being the same height as the arms is a little weird at first, in person (in photos it looks so elegant!). It works great though. The seat back is high enough for comfortable leaning back (I am 53 though) and when one person sits on it, they tend to sit a little sideways and rest one arm along the back. It is very comfortable that way. A nice (super) bonus is that cat hair doesnt show very much on it. We have 3 cats so that is a major thing for me. I think the design works really well for sofas that are against windows and in the middle of the floor / as they allow a maximum ratio of viewing / openness and comfortable seat back height. To get real for a moment / to make the vibe work you will probably need to replace several items in the room. The tufted (all the buttons) look, with the curved arms and nailhead trim, along with the uniform height, doesnt fit most interior design. Finding curtains to match the room and it was a B and well still have to find another oriental rug for sure (one with less colors and intricate design). The loveseat is such an attention grabber that I had tone down other elements in the room or it would look gaudy.
It is growing on me
