I really love this couch, it's perfect for an apartment because it opens up so much more space rather than having a couch and a chair. I also love that the sectional is reversible so that I'll be set when I move again. The color is a dark gray with hints of blue but I still like it a lot. It's very firm but not to the point that it's uncomfortable and I think it'll be fine once it's broken in a bit, that is the only downside to the couch but it's not that bad at all. I definitely recommend it, especially for the money.
