Beautiful sofa! We purchased the green velvet. I thought it would be more of a true emerald green, but it's actually a much darker forest green. I can't fault Wayfair though because computer monitors all differ a bit. Please be advised though if you are looking for a brighter, emerald, this isn't it. However, the couch is very solid. It's a tad difficult to get the arms lined up to slide into the back (it definitely takes 2 people) and a couple of areas didn't really line up 100%, but we made it work and we're probably the only people that will notice (just hoping it being slightly "off" doesn't negatively affect its overall durability... this is the only reason I took 1 star off).
