So I wanted to wait until I got some good use out of the couch to make a review. It is easy to assemble.....loved that. I bought the set in black and it really is black.....loved that also. It is my first black couch and I have learned that it does not mask the appearance of crumbs. It was smaller than I expected. It is perfect for a small living room or den space. The material is durable. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
