I ordered three of these, expecting the material to be velvet, as per the description on the page for the white ones.  However, when they arrived (and I had waited about 8 weeks for delivery) they were faux leather.  Wayfair gave me some money back as it transpired that the white velvet ones were discontinued and, although not what I ordered, they have grown on me and I've decided it was better to have the faux leather as they are so easy to clean.
