The price was unbelievable, so I figured for that cost even if they looked a little haggard it would be okay. I was right, they don't look expensive, but they don't look bad. I'm okay with them for the price I paid. As others stated, the color is quite a bit darker than the picture shows, but it's a pretty charcoal. Assembly was super slick.  They feel sturdy and are on the firm side, but that's what I was hoping for. Overall, I'd say you pay for what you get. But if you want a really cheap couch that looks pretty good and is pretty convenient (I got them within a month of ordering), it's worth the cost.
