Easy to assemble, color is very close to the picture. This arrived vacuum-sealed, magically packed in a box half its size. The cushions aren't as plush and filled out as the picture. Right now, it's quite wrinkled, but I'm hoping both of those issues are resolved after its been out of the box a while. The fabric does not feel like cotton. It feels like an unusual "pleather" fabric which I wasn't expecting. Altogether, the sofa does not look as polished as the picture; it feels a bit more like a modular sofa for a college dorm. I'm hoping it grows on me.
