I had searched for the right couch for months. I came across this one and loved it...I bought two. Since I was wanting a beige couch I was little hesitant at first due to some reviewers saying they were more greige. I went ahead a took the chance and I am so glad I did! They are classy, well made, and they are definitely beige. I see no grey at all. It may all come down to the lighting of the home. Some others mentioned it being stiff and I agree but we wanted that and hoping that will help keep the shape. This room won't be used as a place we hang out but more for entertaining. :) I give these couches five stars.
