Very soft and bouncy plush material this couch is made out of. The velvet is very high quality showing a very nice green sheen. Comfortable by all means and it was super easy for a one to two people job to assemble from two pieces shipment boxes via FedEx. Shipping was fast for two day shipping and I really love my new sectional including my mother who really really has been wanting a new more comfortable plush seating arrangement. A huge plus is that its not very heavy either being around 80-85 pounds! I love this sectional. Thanks Wayfair!
