I purchased the bench in the green color, which was true to the color shown on the website. The assembly instructions were clear and simple. I was able to complete the set up in under 30 minutes. The fabric is smoother than I expected based on its appearance, very soft to the touch, which was a pleasant surprise. The bench is not very soft and "cushy" but I don't expect it to be sat on for long periods of time. I really like the shape of the bench, which has a little more interest than the standard flat bench. The quality of the material and the construction seems very good as well. Very happy with my purchase!
