We purchased this sofa in Mocha and much to our delight it was a darker shade than shown in the photo.  It is a soft brown (not dark) with a herringbone weave.  I have four dogs who sit on it to look out our front window and there is not a bit of hair that catches in the weave.  The only thing I changed on the sofa were the legs.  I ordered 8 wooden legs on ebay for $5.00 each and it makes the sofa look like a million.  We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend it to all.  And, if you're not as fussy as we are, the plastic legs were just fine.
