Item was well packaged and easy for my daughter and I to put together. The shade is lighter and more 'yellow' than it appears online, it's a bright emerald green which looks fresh but I would have preferred the blue-green shade from the photos. Overall it's a small scale sofa, I can see it working in an apartment, but it's a little low for our great room so we switched out the legs to give it more presence. The arms are narrower than I thought but it's pretty comfortable to sit in and there's a $79 fee for returns so I'll be keeping it.
