These were easy for me to assemble myself, and exactly as pictured.  The color is easy to work around. The fabric is soft and easy to clean! I would not recommend these for your main living room furniture, but they were exactly as comfortable as I needed for my office which is a little bit more of a formal setting. I can't really see three people sitting on the sofa, so measure carefully if you are looking for something to seat five. This combo really only seats four comfortably.
