It was exactly as described. No worse and, certainly, no better.  It is a below average priced sofa, and it looks and feels like one as well.  I got this in ebony, so the zippers on the pillows should also be black; they show and they are tan.  
I do like the one long piece for a cushion rather than several small cushions.  You can remove the throw pillows and make it look much better with some designer throw pillows, perhaps with a little fringe on them, overall not a bad sofa. 

Pros: One long piece for the cushion
Cons: Tan zipper color on black pillows.
