This sofa is beautiful in person.  It is easy to put together and feels like good, quality construction with solid wood legs and metal connection plates.  It is a bit firmer than our down sofa in the living room but that is to be expected and also exactly what we wanted for our secondary living room/playroom space.  The design is decidedly mid-century and the color is a beautiful rich sapphire.  We have already done some spot cleaning (I have a 2 and 6-year-old) and a damp towel took everything right off.  Who knew family friendly furniture could be so stylish?
