I just received this couch. We ordered the night blue velvet and I would say it's more of a medium blue, not a dark blue. Fabric is nice. The couch came in two large boxes. Unfortunately, the delivery company left the boxes on the front stoop. It would have been really helpful if they had left them just a few steps away under the carport because here in Florida it rains a lot. Thankfully we weren't gone long and they didn't get wet. The couch was easy to put together. No tools needed was a big plus. The feet screw on and the backs and armrest are attached by rods that fit down into each section. The couch is pretty firm, which is fine with me because it will wear well. The only thing I don't like is that the back cushions are not attached to the back of the couch, so we will have to get velcro to attached the cushions.
