The color is not the same as the photo advertised on the website. The couch is more casual than I expected. The rest of my furniture has an expansive look. So the couch looks a little cheap in my space. The installation was easy for this couch. I purchased the matching love seat but the gold legs were defective. They did not line up with the holes in the couch. I had to have a friend of mine re-weld the gold chair legs for the love seat so that they would fit.
