This is surprisingly study and comfortable for the price point. The color is paler and lighter than compared to the photo in the listing. The lighter photo in my review is fairly true to life. I paid for the assembly and am glad I did because I injured my arm just before it arrived and even the delivery people struggled with getting the two pieces to line up. All in all I’m very happy with how this fits in a fairly small space. I did replace the pillows because I was underwhelmed with them.
