I bought this furniture after carefully reading the reviews and pictures online. My primary objective was comfort. And, boy, does this fit the bill. This sofa and chair sits up higher than my old sofa and when you sit or lay down, it is pure heaven. Deep seats, comfy cushions, and the pillows are the right combination of soft/sturdy. I would describe the color of the furniture a tan and brown cobblestone. I think this sofa is described as western, but you can dress it up or down. One very important thing made me sure this was the right sofa for me; every cushion is reversible, so I can flip them as needed. If you want comfort, this is the furniture for you.
