This solid and sturdy piece is an excellent addition to my home. The fabric is soft but seems hardy. This is more a formal sofa rather than a comfort flopping couch but I have already caught myself in unplanned naps upon it so who knows! My two Boston Terriers have helped themselves to it and their furry remnants have been able to be swept off fairly easily. 

Will try to capture a photo of them ( not me )  snoozing on it to add later
