Looks just like the photos! I love the velvet and the color is beautiful  I read through the reviews and I will say that like some I agree it is definitely firm, not the sort of couch you'd sink into while binging Netflix all night long but perfect for someone like my who has a small space to begin with and would like to offer guests someplace to sit or lay down when visiting. I've napped on it and was pretty comfy. For the price and what your getting I would totally recommend it as long as you know what your getting into. Happy to report mine arrived with no damages
