This is an excellent sofa for a teen or bonus room. I have it in my bonus room and it works great for movie watching and game playing.  In addituon it folds down and makes a good place for a guest to sleep.  It took me roughly 30 minutes to put this together by myself.  The directions are very clear and it is easy to put together.  The overall construction of the sofa is quite good and should hold up for a very long time. I was impressed that all the legs are actually wood.  The seat is fairly deep so I need an extra cushion for back support. One thing that drives me crazy with most velvet cushions is they slip not with this sofa. Under each cushion there is a wide strip of velcro that keeps them from sliding off.  The seat is also fairly springy and there is enough room for 3 people to sit.  The color is more a deep teal, which I like even more than the emerald green color shown online. This worked great for our space and I would definitely get it again.
