This is a good sofa.  The sofa looks kind if contemporary and classy.  The blue velvet looks great.  For the price it was a good deal.  Time will tell how it stands to use in an active living  room.  Assembly did get a little tricky due to poor instruction images.  Be careful of the metal pieces on the sides of the sofa and any screws sticking out of the sofa due to poor plant assembly, you can get cut easily.  It is preferred you have two people assemble this.
