These couches are gorgeous! I get tons of compliments on them. The dark grey color is amazing! I have lots of natural light so the tweed really shows through. They remind me of a dark washed denim. They are firm, comfortable for lounging but I wouldn't sleep on them - which is exactly what I wanted. More for sitting and conversing rather than TV watching or napping. The fabic is sturdy and easy to clean (including pet hair). I love the versatility of the style!
