The sofa is not as blue as the picture but a nice dark gray or charcoal. Sometimes it looks black. I gave it 4 stars bc it's a bit hard to attach the top prongs when putting the swat and arms together.  Otherwise it's fine. Fabric is soft, nalheads in tact. The seat is firm. Hopefully it softens up over time. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase. I'll come back in a month to give an update
