This couch is INCREDIBLE (it better be for the price lol) but it's a perfect leather couch. I'm so happy I took the leap and bought it - it's expensive, yes, but leather couches are in general and this one is SO comfortable. It's super soft and the seats are plush. The back cushions might actually be a bit too plush, but it's still beautiful and perfect. I was happy to invest in this couch because I know I'll have it for years to come. It first perfectly in my nyc apartment. BUY IT!!
