This sofa is just what it looks like as advertised - a sharp looking contemporary unit that is perfect for a condo size living room or patio.  Pretty easy to assemble, I did it without help. It looks awesome in my mid-century modern condo. I love how firm the pads are, and the back has decent support, unlike pillow-back sofas. The quality is really nice, the price was great, the delivery was awesome - it came right to my door and I didn't have to wait at home to take delivery.  It's a charcoal aluminum frame with textured black material on the pads, very stylish and contemporary. The little drink tray in the middle is handy. I'm very happy with my purchase!
