This is a beautiful piece of furniture!!  I love it! It arrived quickly, the day storm Elliott hit.. It was so easy to assemble.. I am extremely happy with this sofa. It is smaller than large size furniture made nowadays for larger people.  The cushions are firm to sit on but soft to the touch. It is very nice quality faux leather fabric. I ordered the charcoal black color. It is not exactly black but dark enough I guess to call it black.. definitely has a dark brown tone.  I've ordered a second one.
