I ordered the Hutton loveseat first and immediately ordered the matching sofa! This is a beautiful linen material. The color in the picture is more white. It's actually more of a very light grey, maybe even a little beige. It's very sturdy, but comfortable. It's not an everyday sofa. I have it in my formal living room. Assembly is easy, you just screw on the legs that come in a zipper pouch under the chair. I highly recommend it!
