I can’t begin to tell you how much we love this couch. It is worth EVERY PENNY. The material is soft and the pillows are even softer. So often I’m tempted to replace them with brighter and happier throw pillows but they’re too comfortable and soft to replace. We are constantly falling asleep on this couch, it’s so comfortable. We’ve had this couch for 8 months, and within that time have raised a puppy from 2 months old to currently 6.5 months old. She’s allowed on the couch, we don’t cover it, and it is still in excellent condition. It does NOT stain easily. Our pup has climbed onto the couch in less than pristine condition many times, and despite the light color of it, we’ve never once had to spot treat it or do any kind of special cleaning. Plus, it’s wide so you can really spread out comfortably on it. I can’t recommend it enough. Please do yourself a favor and buy this couch!
