Was concerned about purchasing a 'red' piece of upholstered furniture online.  There are so many variations of red and I was hoping this was going to blend in well with my other red accent pieces scattered throughout our living room.  I was pleasantly surprised when opening the box.  The color is a nice deep shade of red ... not blood red ... but not bright either ... it's almost perfect and adds a touch of bright color where it's most needed.  As far as comfort level; it is kind of firm but we're using it as extra seating only so this isn't an issue.  Quality is decent especially considering the price ... which is very reasonable ... and I like the touch of class the nail head trim adds!  I'm thinking of buying another one in a different color for our bedroom.
