Alright this sofa is kind of a steal. I bought the blue one and we paired it with a red patterned rug and lots of white and cream furniture. It is super comfy and snuggly and looks elegant. Dark velvet is definately a light suck so make sure your room has lots of light if you want to use a dark version this couch, plus velvet is not reflecting light either. The legs seemed a bit wobbly but then our handyman rethreaded the leg screws and tightened it down much better than we had and its far more solid now.
