scary to make such a purchase on line:  wondered how true the color was; quality of materials, etc.  these are quite handsome pieces.  the caramel color shown is the color we received.  the leather is smooth and quiet, as is the recliner apparatus on each section.  i purchased the My Way delivery and complete set up and consider it money more than well-spent!  the men who handled the delivery,  "assembly," and placement of the sofa and loveseat were great and really had their work cut out for them . . . these pieces are heavy!!  beautiful pieces; excellent service.
