I've had this settee for about 1.5 years and it stills looks like it was just delivered. The color was as pictured. Deep and beautiful. Very much a statement piece to start with if your building decor. Very sturdy. Doesn't have a whole of room for pillows, but maybe 1 or 2. The only thing I would change is the feet. Maybe gold​ or black, but a small DIY​​ project can change all that. Other than that I really love it.
