Really nice sleeper sectional for the money. We ordered the green, which is NOT emerald or anywhere close, but after looking at other reviewer's photos, that's why we chose that color. It is most definitely TEAL, a really pretty teal. If you want "emerald", keep looking. The fabric is of good quality, it's not quite what I would consider true velvet, it's very soft, sheen, velvet-like. Overall quality is good for a low-cost sectional. Assembly was easy, took about an hour by myself, would be quicker with 2 people just because it is bulky. It is firm, but not hard, it opens and closes easily and perfect in a den or office for extra guests. We also purchased a twin size memory foam mattress topper to make it more cushy for guests. Overall very happy with our purchase!
