I really wanted an olive green velvet sofa but didn't want to pay a ton. This futon fit the bill pretty perfectly. I would say the green is lighter in person than in the photos online. It is a bit firm, but the more I sit on it the more the cushions are getting softer. Haven't used it as a bed yet but I assume it would do just fine. Assembly was pretty quick and not complicated. Seems pretty sturdy, my dog has a tendency to scratch at upholstery and so far there haven't been any tears or damage. I paired it with the Phoebe coffee table also on Wayfair.
