Despite my nervousness the week I spent waiting for my first online furniture purchase, I’m very happy with the sofa.  It is perfect for the formal living room. The natural color fabric has a nice textured appearance but is smooth to the touch. I will say the seat is extremely firm, but I wanted that so when it breaks in it still holds its formal shape. The back cushions are much softer. The throw pillows have a cheaper fill and I’ll probably swap the inserts for down, luckily they have a zipper closure. Btw don’t let the pictures fool you, I have very tall ceilings so everything looks small. It is large enough to lay down on comfortably. For scale, the windows are nine feet tall next to it. Over all I would buy it again!
