This is a beautiful couch. I bought the white one, and it looks amazing in person. The seat is real leather, and the handles are fake leather. Even the fake leather feels pretty nice. It's more comfortable than you would think! 

In case you're wondering, the white is *not* shiny like the other two colors.

My only complaint is that the handles feel like they have some weird foam inside, so they do feel a little cheap when you touch them.
