I wouldn't necessarily classify this as traditional living room furniture—it feels more like something you'd find in an office waiting room. If that's what you're looking for, this product is an excellent choice at a very reasonable price. However, I purchased it for my living room, so my opinion is influenced by that context.While it's not uncomfortable, it doesn't offer the level of comfort I would expect for living room furniture. That said, I’m still giving it four stars because it’s well-made, easy to assemble, and has an attractive design. For its intended purpose in the right setting, it’s a great option!
