WOW - what can I say???  The purple is RICH and beautiful and just the right shade.  It is not BRIGHT at all and more of a GRAPE hue.  I used this as the focal point in my new she-cave lounge area.  The couch if very firm and seats 3+ comfortably!!!  Definitely a happy camper with this one!

Pros: Seating is perfect and don't have to worry about things under the pillows because they don't move.
Cons: I've had it almost 2 months now....and there are no cons for me.
