This is NOT an espresso (dark) brown as the photo depicts. It almost seems grayish. I am not going through the hassle of returning it though. It is nice, just not what I was expecting so, I am happy I waited to buy another piece because this will definitely change the color selection of something else I am purchasing. The delivery time was great. I think it was exactly one week from when I ordered it to when it arrived. It’s comfortable and deep enough for my dad and son, 6’6” and 6’3”. It came in a large box FULLY ASSEMBLED which was fantastic! The box was reinforced around all the edges and there was extra cardboard inside so that the cushions are protected upon opening. It is very lightweight.
