I’m writing this after assembling the couch with one other person (it took 20 minutes max) and only having it for a few hours. The beige color came as pictured and has a nice muted tone to it. The material is soft but the couch itself is springy and supportive. Like other reviewers have said, it’s a big deep sectional — it helps to measure well and buy throw pillows.  The delivery wasn’t great (it’s been good in the past but not this time) but we’re very happy with this purchase!
