We got this for our teenage daughter's new "dorm-like" bedroom.  It couldn't be better for her needs.  It is sturdy and the adjustable arm rests make the piece very versatile.  She loves reading and lounging on this piece, it will work out nicely for friends sleeping over.  We went with the berry color.  It is a very nice shade of purple that works well with her decor.  The couch came well packed, on-time and was relatively easy to assemble too.
