This sofa is advertised as being velvet in the teal I bought but it does not feel like a real velvet - It looks like a cheaper less rich-  less dense fabric than velvet - Seems misrepresented  by Wayfair  to me . The seating is firm and not comfortable- back is lower than it appeared in photo in person - to me. Color is nice and photo on website is accurate . I read the many good reviews on Wayfair website are fabricated -
