Out of the many things I ordered from CB2, I needed to wait the longest to give my opinion on this couch. The jury was out at first, but now that I've had it for 2 months, I'm ready to recommend it.
First, this is a very clean design, minimal and modern and in a very nice dark charcoal that has a subtle herringbone pattern to the microfiber fabric. If you're going for a more masculine look, I think it fits in well.
The couch is also pretty low, which for me is a mixed bag. I like the low look, but for optimum comfort for taller folks 6ft and over with long legs, it would need to be 2-3 inches higher. But that would be less sleek wouldn't it? It is however very comfortable so sit on and is well padded.
One thing you need to watch out for is the cushions and how you maintain them. From seeing this couch in the CB2 store in Manhattan, you can see the side where people sat the cushion has become a little misshapen. Hasn't happened on mine since it's newer and not exposed to such high traffic, but you do need to occasionally move the cushion and plump the stuffing (is that what it's called?) to keep it from looking lop sided.
