I bought the navy sectional and wow. I'm just obsessed with it. It's such a soft, beautiful velvet, and it makes my living room look so elegant and modern. I've got a white faux fur rug in front of it, and the effect is stunning. I knew this would be a firm couch from reviews, but that's what I was looking for. It's not one you would lounge on all day, but for me, that's a good thing. I love the look of it so much! 
Oh, and I have a cat and though it picks up hair, it's very easy to get off.
