Got the rose/blush and it's a stunning color. I would say it's more microfiber than velvet. For the price it's an awesome couch and it's quite big. It can fit three people on it easily. It is firm, definitely not something you sink into, but it's still comfortable. Assembly was a pain and the instructions were frustratingly vague. One set of bolts wasn't long enough so we're having to go to the hardware store, but the couch is still functional without those bolts at least. Again though, for less than $400 it's a good deal and I'd repurchase for sure. Good luck!

Update: I called Wayfair and they gave me a partial refund for the incorrect sizing of the bolts for the front of the couch. Really great customer service!
