This is a sturdy sofa, and easy to assemble. The color is as pictured. Four stars because the sitting cushions are not interchangeable and therefore attached.  I prefer to rotate the cushions regularly as they wear.  The back pillow cushions are interchangeable. The back of this sofa is more upright than I wanted. That being said, it is comfortable for some people, but  it doesn’t provide for a relaxing position. Hoping the back cushions will flatten a bit which will rectify the upright feel. They are substantial.
