Looks good, is comfy WITH throw pillows. The couch is so deep that without the throw pillows it's definitely not easy on the back. Good firmness/softness balance. The depth is good for kids curling up on it, sitting cross-legged, or two person snuggle movie-watching. The fabric seems pretty low-maintenance and easy to clean. So far a good addition to our family room with a casual, easy, modern vibe to it.
