This is a beautiful blue color and the velvet feels luxurious. It is compact, but the perfect size for my converted “she-room”. As other reviews stated, it is a stiff. But I’m okay with it. It was fairly easy to put together. Took us about 25 minutes. I gave 3 stars because there is 2” opening in the cushion seam against the trim/piping. So I’ll have to hand-sew or fabric-glue it closed. On another note, the delivery guys were so nice and pleasant!
