this couch is a tad bit darker than it appears in the main pictures. I found the reviewers photos to be more true to the actual color. It is a very dark charcoal grey color not black as one reviewer stated.

pros

the couch is very nice looking just as regal looking as it does in the picture.

the price is good and assembly was very easy

cons
have to wait over a month to receive it. 

the seat depth was the most disappointing part. The back cushions take up most of the seating depth. I have to agree with another reviewer that said that this is not a very tall person friendly couch. If there was more seat depth then the couch would be perfect.

overall I would recommend this couch for a formal minimal use area. It is not a kick back and relaxlets watch some movies type of couch. the price is good and the couch looks beautiful, just take into account seat depth before purchasing.
