I love how easy this couch was to put together and I loved the price point for the look. I sent my mom a photo of the couch in my livingroom after and she asked me if it was real leather. I will say it feels more like suede to me, which actually makes it more comfortable to sit on for longer periods without the fabric feeling stiff. Its pretty comfortable as both my boyfriend and I have both slept on it for multiple hours and felt good afterward. Its definitely a little flatter and stiffer in the back and arm rests, but I just pop a pillow beside or behind me and read for hours.
