This couch is EVERYTHING and more. It is classy and elegant enough to be the statement piece in the room. It is a bit firm (as a lot have previously commented); but, I think over time it will be broken in just fine. Also as previously mentioned by others, the color is more of a light, light brown linen. But, I really didn't want a white couch persay; so, it works for me. Very happy that I snagged this couch!
