We ordered this sofa for our clinic and were a bit worried about how it would hold up with daily use from lots of patients, but it's been 6 months and it still looks brand new.  It isn't a sofa you'd want to sit on for long periods of time, watching TV or something, but it works well for our purposes.  We need to be able to disinfect things, so real leather wouldn't have worked.  We're really pleased with it, and for the price, we'll just replace it when it starts to look shabby.
