The loveseat arrived very quickly and I couldn't be more pleased! The color is a very soft beige - light in color, just as the product photo shows. The seat is firm but I think over time it will "break in" so to speak. The back cushions are very comfy. Although I've only had it for a week, it's held up beautifully to 2 energetic little ones and a large dog that "sneaks" on the loveseat while I'm not looking (bad dog!). The dog got mud on the seat, which I allowed to dry and it vacuumed up without any evidence of mud being there. Cleaning it seems to be easy, which is a bonus. So far, this loveseat is a winner in my book.
