This is really cute, sturdy but soft. I would say it's smaller than I expected, I wouldn't call it a "sofa" but more of something to prop yourself up with. For kids, perfect size. It's less solidly coloured than I thought it would be. You can see this in the picture if you look hard, there are kind of white checkers on it... but from afar it's hard to see that and either way I love it!
