Very nice soft material. The color says navy but I wouldn’t classify it as dark as navy but it’s blue. I bought this couch for my photography studio, it won’t get everyday use and I think it’s perfect for something like that or even a sitting room. I probably wouldn’t have bought it for my everyday sofa because I don’t think it would hold up to everyday use very well. I’m very happy with my purchase and I think it’s a beautiful statement piece!
