I read a lot of reviews before I bought this, everyone is so happy with this couch!! It is nice and soft material, soft, comfortable cushions. I’ve been looking at the velvet and the corduroy for a long time usually priced barely over 1,000. I paid quite a bit more to the first one that became available. Their so low in the back, I feel like Lurch sitting on a kiddie couch! I guess that’s the price for buying on line I can’t imagine the hassle to send it back. I don’t know why I’m so disappointed! I even received them really fast! And I love the gray color! All I can say is be really sure it’s what you want, go to a showroom if you can! For me, it’s a substantial investment, I’ll have to live with for a while! I’ll have to update!
