The color is perfect. Got an amazing deal on these. Assembly was easy, although I think the instructions are backwards for the side supports. It says E goes where F goes, but if you do it that way, they are the wrong angle. Also, the screws that secure the side support to the front leg WILL come through the other side of the leg if you don't go slow and stop soon enough. The screws should be 1/2'' shorter to avoid this problem. I used my own fasteners after reading this on many other reviews. The cushions are indented and have not sprung back after many days. The way it was packaged left the impression of the front legs into the foam. I am going to contact them for a partial refund. Aside from all of this, they're really wonderful and when put together properly with wood glue, they are sturdy as all heck and will definitely last a life time. Don't rush the assembly and make sure you tighten everything securly after to check for square and level.
