With two young kids we wanted microfiber and a darker color. The pewter color is great, between gray and brown, but more gray.  It is comfortable and perfect size, the whole family of 4 can face the same direction if we want. I was happy there are no buttons on the cushions so no need to worry about losing those in the future.  Looks well made.  Buy pad protectors (if it is going on a wood floor) so you are ready to put those under the black plastic legs that need to be attached.
