The sectional has more texture than I anticipated, but I actually like it more. The pictures accurately reflect the color. It's firm and comfy. It's just two of us with a couple of cats, so it should hold up. It looks good and is perfect for our basement remodel.  If you are looking for a sofa where your heart won't sink when someone flops down on it, then I highly recommend this one. If you are looking for a high end sofa, then you should keep shopping
