To say the material is "faux leather" is beyond misleading. It's some type of absorbable fabric. The entire couch comes in boxes, which is understandable since it's being shipped, but we've had it for a couple weeks now and the wrinkles are still not out of the cushions. Some of the metal pieces where you attach it together came bent and we had to hammer it to get it to fit in its slot. If you're looking for a faux leather/easy to clean couch, look elsewhere. Would not purchase again.
