This was purchased as a gift for Mother's Day. My Mom was moving to a new location and loves red. The upholstery color is a lovely red with gold floral pattern; the pillows are the same except there is a wide stripe pattern on the reverse side. Very nice. The other plus is that it is built (the mattress company) and the cushions are excellent in support weight; my Mom has slept on her couches for years so purchasing a sofa made all the sense in the world!! Very comfortable whether you sit, curl up or lie on the sofa. very pleased. We did need to assemble the sofa (put the feet on) but that was a breeze.
