Our couch just arrived today. It’s MASSIVE! We are both very tall (over 6’2) and can out stretch fully on the couch without our legs even touching the end! I wouldn’t describe the materia as super soft but it does have the feel that it will stand up to our pets (and I’m sure children! It’s a beautiful grey colour that goes with anything! Considering we were hesitant to order a couch online so far- so good!
