This couch is gorgeous, and the photos don't do it justice! The color is a beautiful deep blue, and it doesn't look cheap like other velvet furniture I've seen. Super easy to assemble - you just screw on the legs, no tools needed. The material on the bottom/underside is definitely a really cheap material that did come with a pretty big rip in it, but since no one sees that, I don't care. This item is definitely firm, so I don't think I'd recommend it for your main couch to binge watch Netflix on, but it's perfect for my office and just the right size. Easy to fold out flat, though it is a bit short to actually sleep on (I'm 5'8). Would be ok for kids or emergency guests to sleep on, but I wouldn't use it as a main guest bed. But it's absolutely perfect for what I intended, and I'm super happy with it!
