We love this couch! For the price it's hard to beat. The fabric lining under the piece could be sturdier, but we don't see that part of it anyway.  The cushion is a bit firm, but we've grown to  love sturdiness. The color is slightly orange, but the patina that's starting to develop looks like it will settle into a nice medium brown.  And maybe the most important test ... we can't keep the dogs away from it.
