Stunning. Seriously stunning. I was so hesitant to make such a large purchase online and I have ZERO regrets. The sofas are polyester so they arent soft but the look supersedes my need for softness so I am thrilled. They are NOT tan at all. Very much a perfect super light greybeige color... closer to a taupe. The fabric has the appearance of linen. The cushions are EXTREMELY firm. I dont think this is a cuddle up couch in my opinion, and thats not what I bought it for so I am again, thrilled!
