This is an attractive, sturdy daybed, particularly for the price point.  I was pleasantly surprised at the construction methodology and how solid it was upon completion.  The fabric appears to be of good quality, and the packaging is certainly robust enough for delivery.  It arrived at my home with no damage despite the typical shipping wear-and-tear on the shipping cartons.
The fabric is indeed beige in color, although if placed near a warm-toned beige wall it will tend to appear gray.  The best way to describe it is that the fabric is a bit tweed-like, and almost straddles the beige/gray color scheme.
All in all, I am pleased with the construction of the daybed, and see no reason as of now why it would not last long term.
