Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It looks great and was a GREAT price. It is comfy and attractive. The bonded leather is supple so therefore soft, but the one thing I would worry about over time is various animals tearing it. I guess that is a risk with any leatherbonded leather piece of furniture. Note color is somewhat muted as compared to picture, which pictures it as a very deep cherrywine, instead is a bit lighter in person. I would not hesitate to buy again.
