Thanks everyone! The sofa is camel/gold, it photographs lighter than it actually is. I think the best thing to do might be to go with it and see if I can love it as is. If not I can have the cover made.

Hi there, we have dark grey velvet John sankey sofas, we have them five years and they have stood up to family life (two boys a dog and two cats, (dog not allowed on sofas!!))really well I get them professionally cleaned every year or two, the seat cushions on these are reversible which helps! I change the throw cushions to change the look every so often, only down side is dark furniture does take a lot of light, from a room,Hope this helps, Noelle

Wondering if Ikea's outdoor furniture are similar in quality to higher end ones like Fermob? Are any of them more rain resistant than others? Would love not to have to bring the cushions in every time it rains. Was thinking of ikea's havsten. https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/havsten-3-seat-sofa-in-outdoor-beige-s59274700/ Made.com currently has a delivery timeframe of 10-12 weeks. ideally want something that's not rattan, more modern and minimal.

To add, these will be on the opposite sides of the room, facing each other. I havent bought the chairs yet, i can change their color too but had planned on cream
