I have mixed feelings about this couch. It’s definitely growing on me. The fabric feels like linen so it’s not soft. I do really like the shape and it looks great in our living room. I am not crazy about the depth though. Wish it were deeper. Also started out as really firm but seems to be loosening up and getting more comfortable. I think it’s a great couch for now but not like my dream couch that I’m ecstatic about.
