I bought the peanut color and its pretty well represented in all the online pictures. Couch is solidly built and the leather looks like it would last a very long time. However, the leather itself is not as soft as some more expensive couches I've seen. Couch comfort is about a 6 out of 10, but I'm hoping that it will improve over time as the cushions break-in. New, the seat cushions are a little stiff for my taste.
The only assembly is installing the legs, and that was easy enough as long as you can find the holes through the fabric below the couch.
