Wow! This sofa is a show stopper. A truly stylish statement. The seat is deep so I can comfortably curl up without my feet hanging over the edge. I’m only 5’2” so I have to put a cushion behind my back or my feet don’t touch the floor when I sit. The color is a darker grey, charcoal and although not as dark as I expected it’s certainly dark enough. The velvet is very soft to the touch. The sofa does sit low but that’s part of what gives it such unique style. The sofa is quite firm but not hard or uncomfortable. However if you’re interested in a plush sink in feeling this is not that. I love it. Gorgeous! My only complaint is I didn’t receive any legs. I found the zipper space below the sofa but it was empty. However I called Wayfair and they’re sending the legs out to me in time for Christmas (I hope). Bottom line: This sofa screams style and high end taste.
