The wood work is high quality.  The fabric is a pleasant color of blue, not quite as bright as it looks in the photos (which was a good thing for us)  The cushions are thin, but firm.  Assembly was very easy.   I wish the seating surface was a little higher (I am 6'5")  It would also be nice if there was some way to keep the side cushions from sliding forward, which they do a little bit of if you are not leaning directly on them.
