This sofa is stunning and was just what I needed for my office space.  I had been looking for a chesterfield sofa that was somewhat non-traditional and a bit more on the modern side.  The squared-off arms and the black metal legs offered that modern feel.  I also wanted the look of leather without having to pay the genuine leather price.  This sofa 100% fit the bill.  I can't speak to durability, as I just set it up today, but so far, I'm in love!
