The color is exactly what we wanted (the lighting makes it look like a true red, but it is more like burgundy). Other reviewers have mentioned the fabric is thin and I agree its on the thin side, but its not transparent and doesnt feel flimsy like it will wear or tear easily - time will tell though. We have two dogs so hopefully the no-pill feature holds up. My one complaint is that despite the description, I didnt see any cover tiesloops. Not a huge deal for us personally, but it is misleading. Overall, very satisfied with our purchase so far.
