The price of this sofa was so great, I was hesitant the quality could be disappointing, but we ordered two and loved these instantly. I somehow missed the detail that these required assembly and when they arrived in 3 parts I nearly cried. Luckily, they took only a few minutes to assemble and looked fantastic. Even though Chesterfields have a reputation for being slightly rigid, these have been very comfortable. The fabric is more of a blue grey than a beige grey with light threads woven in, almost like a grey denim. I love the elegant of the design and have been very happy with our sofas.
