It was hard to find a chaisesofa this size, I am happy with it. The gray color is more of a black, gray and white weave. Shipping was fast and assembly was quick and easy. As other reviewers have noted, we attached the end piece first and then the back piece. Some of the seams are tight, causing some waving in the piping, maybe they will loosen with wear For the money, it’s a great piece, and with extra pillows it’s very comfortable.
