I ordered this smaller size sofa for my bedroom in the blue color. It is perfect for the area I wanted it for. The color is lovely...not navy but also not a bright blue...more if a royal blue. The velvet is soft and seems like it will wear well, although I do protect it with a throw if I am going to snap on it. It came in a few pieces and wasn’t super easy to assemble, but we got it done after a few false starts. It does seem sturdy considering it came in several pieces. It does have a slight odd odor, but that has faded somewhat after a few weeks—it smelled slightly stale as if it had been sitting in a damp warehouse for a long time.
