Couch looks exactly like the picture, though the grey is a little more heather grey (more of a blue grey than brown grey). Very easy to assemble- I was glad I opted for in-room delivery because I would not have been able to get it up the stairs myself- but at that point I had it assembled within fifteen minutes. It's a very firm couch, but not unpleasantly so. Only complaints are that 1) the wooden legs are all different shades of brown and 2) Wayfair was way off about the delivery date and so I had to take a morning off work I wasn't planning on with less than 24 hours notice, costing me lost wages.
