While the shipping was confusing and took longer then expected, I was blown away by the quality of this couch when it arrived! Receiving it in two boxes I was nervous that assembly would be time consuming and that the couch would not be sturdy. I was pleasantly proven wrong quickly. My husband and I were both impressed by the simple and sturdy design and assembly. The couch is grey/blue and when you look closely resembles denim. It is petite! We wanted a smaller couch to allow for space for an accent chair, this fit the bill. The couch is firm and cute!
