Just got this so can't comment on durability yet but the set up was easy. The color is great - a medium grey with the right tone- no flat or yellowing tones like you see in some gray. Leather seems good. Nice and firm - so if you want sink in type sofa this is not for you. Love that it has a lounge with out looking like a lounge. Rests go up and down easy. Comes in 2 sections that clip together simply.
