The couch is beautiful. Great lines--I love the way it looks in my living room. The dark gray has some blue to it. However, the texture of the fabric in the dark gray color is very rough, almost like burlap (There may be a different kind of fabric used in the other colors. I don't know), and, as other reviewers have said, the cushions are quite firm. If I had seen the couch in a store and been able to touch it first, I probably wouldn't have purchased it. However, because of the reasonable price and attractive appearance, and because of the hassle of a return, I decided to keep it.
