Ive only had the couch for one day.  I would have  to come back to give it a proper rating after a year.  However, the feel of the material (which I ordered a sample of pre-purchase) is as expected.  The cover of the couch interferes with the chaise and two seats connector so the material doesn't hang evenly.   I do love the couch so far and the depth is what I desired based on previous reviews.  I'm waiting to get a response from friends.  So far.  I'm not disappointed.  I give it four stars ONLY because it's been no time lapse since purchase.
