This sofa is classy and stylish. Other viewers stated it was grey in color but I differ and feel it is between a light grey and light taupe/beige. It is firm and our daughters felt it was uncomfortable but my husband and I prefer a harder sofa with the loose back pillow to constantly fluff and deal with. The pillow have a dark ivory background and the lettering is in a dark brown/grey color. The legs are definltely light oak or maple but I plan on taking them off and darkening them a little with Behr stain you can buy in a $3.00 can from Home Depot. At the last minute I called wayfayer and paid extra for the inside delivery and set up and thank God I did. Couch was very heavy and we would have never managed to get it up 2 flights of stairs!
