I do hope your sofa is everything you want, and even though I would love to see pictures, I hope I can decide and order before yours arrives! Since I am also looking for a gray (although lighter) I have been looking at other lines too. I wondered about McKinley's "Larkin Haze-A" Grade L3. I like the color but would want to know Duane's opinion of the quality of it compared to H/M Piazza Pewter which is lighter. I have been confused because of the fact that I cannot actually "see" products, and because of conflicting explanations from sales people. Local stores have leather handles to view which is where I started, but I am so thankful to have this blog to keep reading and learning.
