This sofa was exactly what I wanted. The pink is definitely pink - it really adds character to the space. The box it came in was easy enough for me to get up a flight of stairs (I'm a petite young woman), and I assembled it by myself in about half an hour. It is firm, and you can feel that it's tufted, but I find it plenty comfortable. My boyfriend thought it was too firm/lumpy at first, but now that he's used to it he likes it too. It's really nice to have the three different options - regular sofa, reclined (think 45 degree angle), and flat. All are comfortable and easy to convert to!
