This sofa is exactly what was pictured. It's a great size being somewhere between a loveseat and full size sofa. Good for smaller spaces to maximize seating area. I was surprised to find the entire sofa needed to be assembled, as it came in a box with various components. I set it up myself within an hour and it was pretty straightforward. Warning: the back will seem a little until you attach the arms. This is a firm sofa but again, exactly what I wanted. The color is a true espresso, and not too brown, again exactly what I wanted. Looking forward to getting a couple accent pillows but fits in well with any modern decor.
