My husband and I just bought a house and the living room is a little small. We needed something that wasn't going to take up a lot of space, but that was also not tiny. This couch was the perfect solution. The grey in the picture is true to its actual color, and the pillows do come with it! Shipping took 4 weeks, but in the end it was worth it. The only assembly required is putting on the legs. The cushions are a little firm, but they will probably soften up with time. Overall, a great purchase!
