I was so hesitant to order this because some of the photos make the fabric look cheap or like that plasticy leather look/feel and I can't stand that, but this is such a smooth leather, almost suede like. We have the configuration set up a bit long right now but can't wait to pull in together to double as another bed for guests soon. The fabric has held up really well to dogs and kids. All in all, so glad we took a chance on this!
