It has a very chic look and the upholstery feels quite nice.  It is a lighter shade of grey than the picture depicts.  My only worry is that the frame won't hold up over time.  I have two boys that plop onto it.  I am using it for a "fancier" sitting area of my house, but so far its been holding up to two kids using it on occasion.  When I go to sit on it, it feels a bit creeky that's where the -2 stars come into place.
