It's pretty well made and sturdy.  I am 5'2" and it is a tiny bit large for me, but not bad.  My husband is 5'11" and it fits him fine.  The color would be hard to get a realistic photo of.  I would call it an orangey brick red. It is darker than the photos show, but mine is in a covered porch, with less light than if it were outside.  The covers seem extremely durable.  The cushion is nice, but not terrifically soft.  Somewhat firm and thinner than a deep lounge.  For the money, it was a good value.
