The center cushion seat is higher than the two sides and is not soft leather. It is hard and firm. It’s not comfortable at all and the lower back doesn’t￼ give you a lot of back support. The looks of it is  fair but it’s not one that I’m very happy with. I think the higher back couches with the plump cushions were probably better better by than this couch. This. is a couch I would not recommend!
