Much beefier in person than in the photo.  I would not characterize it as having a "modest" sillouette.  Gold color is less yellow than I expected, which is a good thing.  Sofa feels very stiff and kind of crunchy, but am hoping it will soften up over time.  At 21 inches for the seat, it is high and not recommended for short old people.  Cats seem to like it.  Have not tried to open the sleeper yet.  It is very heavy and the two delivery guys had a hard time getting it in the house.  Ordered different throw pillows to dress it up a bit.  Gave it 3 stars because it seems like a good value at the price, compared to what I could buy locally.
