I'm quite impressed with this couch. It look exactly as pictured, color and everything. It does not look fake at all. The textured color really keeps it from looking like plastic like other faux leathers. This was by far the easiest couch I've ever put together and I did it by myself in 10 minutes. The back cushions are very soft and comfy but the seat is very firm but I think it will break in. I am using at a photography studio so I wasn't buying for comfort.
