I bought the sofa in blue and it is a beautiful short velvet. It was advertised to be child and dog resistant and in the short time I’ve had it, it has already been tested and cleaned up great. It arrived in perfect condition and the delivery men were very polite and helpful. I would have given it five stars but it is so firm that it was initially shocking. I’m more used to it now or it has softened with use. Very pleased with my purchase.
