Beautiful color (blue). Firm to sit, soft to the touch. 2 negatives: this couch is made for petite persons. The instructions need to be more clear on assembling. You think you got it in place but if the backing is loose, it is not in place. Until you get the metal bar in correctly, then the arms and backing don't move. Try and slide metal bars at same time.  One review said they lean couch to the wall to keep it from falling.... the metal rods are not in place.
