The couch is very cute! It is very low to the ground so be aware if that's not something you're looking for. The dark gray is what I purchased and it is still fairly light in my opinion so know that the colors are slightly deceptive. The couch is firm but not uncomfortable to lounge on. I would NOT recommend this for young children because the frame of the couch seems to be kind of cheap and easily breakable. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!
