1. was unsure of the color when I ordered. I thought it might be too green, it’s color matches the ad and I’m very pleased. 2. I was also reluctant to buy a couch without a test sit. It’s also very comfortable. I’m 5’6” and I have plenty of room to nap on it. 3. It was pretty easy to put together. I suggest one person to help. Make sure all the screws are tight as you can get them, otherwise I think the couch would seem a bit wobbly. Great style for the price. I love it!
