Oh my god! I was so scared to purchase this couch after seeing at the negetive comments.. but let me tell you this sofa literally gave a life to my dull living room.. it’s so luxury, the velvet is so soft u don’t feel like taking ur hands off of it.. the golden strip does have a little tiny bump on it here n there but it doesn’t bother me at all.. since u can’t even tell as it’s So shiny and reflecting...  my first purchase and wayfair and I m in love!
