The gray color is nice, and the sofa was easy to put together. I wish there was a way to keep the seat locked in when moving it for instance because I had a hard time with them flopping over and getting stuck when I moved the sofa down a narrow hallway. In the future I will use some bungee cords or something to keep that from happening again. This is definitely a futon, and the comfort overall is not what it would be were it a real sofa, but I think it is okay for what it is. It looks great and is the right size for my small space, and I think that it is a good deal overall. Everyone who has seen it says they think it looks awesome, which is always a plus.
