We were unsure if this would be cheap looking but took a leap of faith and purchased it because of the decent reviews.  The couch is firm (not cushy like you might expect) but that was great for my back.  I don't like the throw pillows with the leather on them but they are firm and work well (just not my taste).  The suede will hold cat fur and dog slobber marks but can be easily vacuumed/wiped away.  It is not super expensive looking but works great in our extra living space and was easy on the pocket book.  I would buy it again.
