We love our new sectional. The gray option is very cool (as opposed to warm) in hue -- like a steel blue. I think the polyester fabric will be easy to clean -- we do plan on scotch guarding it because we have animals that like to get on furniture. Assembling it was a little tricky -- mostly getting the two pieces to connect -- but we managed to get it together in around an hour -- even with our cat trying to hinder the process every step of the way. I love the wood legs-- they are a beautiful honey tone and look very modern. The black plastic legs -- not so much but I guess you can't really see them. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, especially since I got it on sale for around 700. It is large tho-- I think it could easily fit six people.
