It was a little darker than we expected. It still works well in the room. We were glad that it arrived quicker than we were told. I was called the evening before the delivery, so it made it a little rushed to coordinate disposing of our old sofa. We paid the extra fee for the in room delivery. Unfortunately, the delivery people complained about having to deliver the sofa the entire time. I am not sure what the disconnect was because we read the instructions on the website carefully and we complied with all the instructions. Overall, it is a great product and we are glad it is here.
