I recently received my new  Sofa and it's perfect! It's the exact color of silver gray that's in the photo. It's soft and looks much more lovely in person. On very VERY close inspection underneath the sofa and underneath the cushions, it does look to be a cheaper made sofa, but in my opinion it has better quality than an IKEA one. I'm not disappointed at all with this purchase. I saved a lot of money and got both the sofa and the loveseat for a great price since I bought this after the holidays when it was on sale. It fits well in my space; not too big, not too small. And it is comfortable, despite some of the other comments about it being too stiff. It's not one of those "sink into the cushions" kind of sofa, but it's still comfortable and the cushions have relaxed a bit since we've owned it.
