I literally hated this couch when it came. Hahahaha. Its actually really really big (6ft partner has room to space when laying down flat) and the grey color looks blue in the lighting of my place. Over time, with different throw pillows and switching out a rug from a different room, Ive grown more fond of it. Definitely would need a pad for a guest, every seam is pretty bumpy. And the center of the couch is hard where the seam is. But its good for spooning, perfect for spooning when the back is in the reclined position. One other thing is that the back/arm rests seem a little low, so when I want to sit on it and read (I like to sit with my back against the arm rest) I have to stack pillows behind me to have a surface to rest on. I bought this couch to have a place for guests in a one bedroom, only to realize that my cats are loud and running around at night, so a guest wouldnt be able to sleep here anyway. If I could go back in time, I wouldnt buy it. But I have it. So Ill keep it. Pretty time intensive to put together and definitely takes two people. The fabric seemed horrible and ugly when I first got it (the icky cheap velvet of my nightmares) but I dont notice anymore. One of my cats is a little cross eyed and dont have good depth perception or jumping skills and loves to do zoomies all over this couch (digging his claws in all over because he misses and slides and overshoots) and the fabric doesnt have a permanent/noticeable scratch on it yet. Im glad its so durable. Overall, if you have quieter cats than mine, this couch would be a good option for having a guest (or two slimmer guests) in a one bedroom apartment, as long as you have a pad on it
