Looks pretty close to the photo. This couch, although not the sturdiest in the world, is just fine for apartment where it's just me and maybe 1 or 2 friends sitting on it. The best part about this is how surprisingly comfortable it is to lie and sleep on. I've had to sleep on it before and some friends have as well. Not a sore bone or muscle afterwards! It might not be long enough for most people but if you're not tall then it works. I assembled it myself and it was easy enough to do, maybe took about an hour.
