Sofa depth not 21 inches as ordered...what to do?

I took delivery of a very nice sofa this week that turned out to be hugely uncomfortable. Because I am short, I specifically looked for and ordered a 21 inch depth sofa from a local furniture store. I even upgraded to spring down cushions. There were other sofas I liked better but the depth was too great. To my surprise, this sofa is measuring at 22 almost 22 1/2 which is a lot when it comes to seat depth. The really great folks at the furniture store are saying, "well, it's hand made so there is always going to be a tolerance." My feeling is then why even list seat depth if it's just a suggestion. I can return the sofa, but at a hefty 30%. Not sure what to do. Contact manufacturer? Live with it and stuff pillows behind my back. I'd almost do that but there is also a strange pitch to the sofa and I feel like I'm pitched forward rather than sitting square. Anyone have this problem?
