The fabric quality and color are true to the picture.   The piece is very sturdy.  It is a little short-your feet will hang off if you are over 6 feet like me.  It's a beautiful addition, and I love the free pillow.

Pros: Easy assembly and great finish.  Looks like and feels like velvet.
Cons: A little short.  Would be nice if there was a 2-person option.
