I purchased the 3 seat configuration. More than I wanted to pay for something I've never seen but in the end well worth it. The craftsmanship and materials are second to none. The leather is firm but very soft to the touch. The features are excellent. I researched many brands and price ranges but in the end you get what you pay for. These chairs rate the best of any brand and they don't disappoint. Assembly was very fast maybe 15 minutes tops. When its time to replace my couch i will be buying the 3 peace with the center council. Lots of storage space in arm rests and the door improvements make it very stable.
