Color was exactly as pictured (red). Assembly was fairly simple and units seems secured. It is not a high luxury piece, but looks to be well made and serviceable. Seating is very comfortable for at least short to average folks. (5’4” to 5’10.) Can’t speak for 6’ +.  The frame is somewhat visible from the front, although not as much as in the picture against a white background. Reclining mechanism works as expected, although I’ve been spoiled by a power recliner. Overall, a good value for the price.
