I love...love...love this gorgeous loveseat. One buyer mentioned that she had washed it and it came out great so I ordered it even though the instructions states not to wash. When I examined inside the pillow backs, there were unfinished seams with lots of threads that I cut off. I can only imagine when washing, these seams would further fray. That was disappointing. The other slipcovered love seats from Wayfair that do state that you can wash them are very oversized and we have a very small living room. Anyway, I have severe back problems, so I chose the down for comfort and comfortable they are!
