Let me start by saying that Wayfair Customer Service is top notch and have taken care of everything without hesitation. For our original order, the third box in our shipment never showed up. Wayfair sent us a brand new couch within a week. Received replacement, set it up, had a  cookout and two people sat on one side of the couch and it broke. Had to reinforce ourselves with wood screws. Called Wayfair and told them what happened and they sent us yet another couch. Hopefully third time is a charm. We bought the beige, definitely more of an off white, very light. Stains easily, but everything has come out w/ handheld steam cleaner. Wish I would have gotten the red. We remove our cushions after use until we can get a cover.
