I know its very hard to photograph the true color of this herringbone sofa, but an available fabric swatch would have prevented me from purchasing this item. All in all dealing with Wayfair was a very good experience, Im just at a point in life when sending things back is just too big a hassle. I had read all available reviews (and pictures) on this sofa and no photos including my own show the true look of it. Need fabric swatch availability. It is a lovely well made item.
