For the money spent, I am really impressed with this sofa and love seat.  The color was as expected after seeing several pictures and reading reviews.  My husband, who is a born critic, even likes it.  This set is in our formal living room and not used very often, which is why I think it's perfect.  I'm not sure how it would hold up with heavy or regular use, but I love it for what we're using it for. The seats are very firm, which I like since it's not meant to lounge on.  The pillows that came with it are nice quality.
