This sofa is solid, and assembled easily. It appears as shown in the picture, grey frame with dark grey cushions. I thought the middle, over-the-cushion tray was a cool feature, but ended up taking it off the first day, so I could stretch out. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars for two reasons. First the cushions are a bit stiff. Fine, I guess, for patio furniture. It needs throw pillows for back support for maximum comfort. The second reason is that mine came with a California Prop 65 warning tag for containing (potentially cancer causing) DEHP phthalates. I assume this is for the fabric. DEHP is a common additive in synthetic upholstery. I would have chosen a sofa without this, had this been labeled better prior to purchase, but since I already have it set up, it's comfortable, and it looks nice, I will keep it. Overall, a nice patio sofa for the price.
