I like the feel and look of the couch.  It definitely looks more grey than I was expecting.  But it does have beige in it.  But I like the tweed of the fabric and do not think it will show stains as much as a light solid color.  It is comfortable.  It took about an hour to put together and would be a lot easier if you had your own Allen wrench and you did not have to use the one they provide. Overall I am happy with it.
