So happy with this purchase! We love it even more in person. The photo doesn't really do it justice. The material has more of a textured feel to it. And it is so soft! Reminds me of a supernaoft teddy bear! We ended up getting this 5 days sooner than what shipping expected and it was easy to put together! Recliners work great. The couch is firm but soft. Definitely would recommend buying this item!
