So I purchased the couch blindly since no one has purchased black and posted pics. So I will attach pictures for those who are questioning it! 

The good, it is huge, solid. The pics do not give the size of the couch justice. 

The bad, the black is more like velvet NOT linen that was disappointing as I did not want velvet but if you want that then that’s not an issue. The flat edge around the couch is very large so it takes away from the size of the couch and I would have rather it not stick out so much or have more sitting space. 

The cousins your but sit on are slightly firm with I prefer for longevity of the couch. The back cushion can break in over time which I do like that. 

Overall a good quality couch
