I don't think the velcro to hold the two cushions together is that great. It could be stronger. I also thought that when it said 
"clips" that it meant there were clips to hold the seat cushions down which it isn't - it is clips to hold the pieces together should you wish to create a bigger sofa. I love how it came already put together. The grey is a dark, nice looking grey. It's great how you can change the configurations.
