First, let me just start by saying that if you’re thinking about buying this sofa you’d better prefer a firmer cushion. I do, and couldn’t be more pleased. If you like a plush, marshmallowy cushion then I predict you’ll be left disappointed. The color and dimensions are EXACTLY as shown online (I purchased the light grey sofa). Assembly took about 15 minutes. Like, it was ridiculously easy. Having said that, it should be noted that the couch will arrive in essentially one piece. It’s an enormous box that will arrive on your doorstep, so be prepared (that’s the primary reason the assembly is so easy). We had to take it out of the box to fit it on the elevator en route to my 11th floor apartment. Took some doing, but it worked out and I’m very happy. I used it as my bed for the first 3 nights in my new place and I gotta day, I won’t feel bad having company crash on that bad boy. Chaise is roomy.
