Picked up the royal blue, it's gorgeous and just like the photos. Easier to assemble the back piece with two people, but managed it on my own (Ack!). it's firm to sit on, not intended as a lounging sofa you'd fall asleep on, more of an occasional sitting room or even waiting room sofa. I love it though, because the seats are deep and I can scoot back and bring my legs up and cross them. My back appreciates the firmness too! Super squishy surfaces hurt after a little while. Anyway, I love it!
