I read previous reviews many times before ordering. The sofa in its entirety is beautiful. Simple enough to assemble. Lovely rich colour. Firm seats at first but they bed in well without going too soft (not sure how long that will last before sinking)
I didn’t find it slippery to sit on. VERY easy to scratch, although even the scratches seem to eventually blend in and just provide a rustic ‘lived in’ look. 
Saying that, I would recommend… for a homebody, not a perfectionist.
