I love this sofa!  It's a little shorter in length than I expected but that's ok by me as it will fit in my new apt. perfect.  I bought Royal Blue and the color is exactly as portrayed on site.  It's very classy looking and I've had lots of compliments on it. It took my grandson about 30 minutes to assemble and the material is soft. I'm hoping to find a couple of accent chairs to complete my French Provincial look.  As far as durability, I haven't had the furniture but a few days so will have to review that later.
