My kids refer to this as "mom's couch".  My boys won't sit on it (thankfully :).  My girls feel like it's fair game.  It is a lovely light gray color and seems to have endured a few chocolate mild stains.  I doused it with Scotch Guard when I received it and is probably due for another coat.  Overall I am very happy with it.    

Pros: Nice quality, seems durable.
