My wife and I bought this sofa for our first apartment together and LOVE it. The design is fantastic and the color of the sofa (dark grey) looks the same in person as it does in the picture. It is quite comfortable as well, though we both agree that is definitely on the firmer side. The sofa comes in a large box that was very easy to maneuver to where we wanted it specifically in the apartment. Screwing the 4 feet into the bottom of the sofa was the only challenge we had in setting the couch up; some of the screw holes in the couch weren't lined up as neatly as the holes on the feet. However, we were able to align them fairly well without needing a power drill. I would STRONGLY recommend this couch; its combination of style, comfort, and price are a great combination.
