We Love this couch! The color is a beautiful oatmeal linen.  Beware! This couch comes in three boxes, one of which has a picture of a CHAIR and a different call number.  This is because the box contains the ARMS of the couch (the same arms used for the chair in this style).  I ended up 'correcting' the order before opening the boxes, which started the arduous return process (three huge boxes, third floor apt, no truck, yikes!). Now I know to trust Wayfair...The cushions are comfortable, medium stiffness.  The sofa is sophisticated and welcoming.  Like I said, we love it!
