Couch is great, exactly what I wanted. I got the middle shade and was slightly worried it would be too light, but it's pleasantly grey. I think if I'd gone the darkest shade it would have been far too dark, so if you're picking between the two that's my recommendation.

That being said, building this is BRUTAL. Maybe it was just the model I received, but after trying to use a manual phillips head screwdriver to get the feet on and failing on each about half of the way in, I had to call in the big guns and borrow a power drill. Turned the torque on it wayyy higher than I thought I'd have to, and had a friend push on the back side so it wouldn't move. I'm a relatively large dude who goes the the gym consistently, and still would not have been able to do it without a power tool. If you're on the smaller side of individuals, just save yourself the hassle and call in the big guns. Don't pay the installation fee though, wildly too expensive to install four couch legs.
