I purchased the blue grey, which is actually dark grey, even in sunlight. It is much darker than I wanted but will do for my needs. It sits well but is a bit higher for my 5'9" height and seating comfort. Extremely easy to put together. It took less than 30 minutes for both pieces. The pillows are just ugly. And they are black on the back. I bought this furniture cheaply since I have two huge dogs who tend to chew when bored and alone. if they mess this set up, it won't be that big of a loss. Which is why I purchased this set, based on price.  But I am surprised how nice it looks and sits for the price. I am guessing it won't last a long time, but for the money it's an affordable set especially if you have young children or dogs and know something will happen to it. Accidents happen. I did purchase some scotch guard and sprayed it down to help. It didn't affect the color or fabric. Overall a nice sleek set, and looks good.
