This set is exactly as pictured. The grey is dark gray as pictured.  Several commented that the cushions were firm but frankly I think they are perfect and you dont feel like you are sitting directly on a couple slats.  Assembly was easy.  My husband spent approximately 10 minutes on each sofa and the corner sofa.  Screw and bolt holes lined up well.  Packaging was great, shipping was timely and overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
