I got this couch in emerald green, and it is stunning! The color is vibrant, the fabric is so soft and luxurious. I was looking for a velvet couch and a lot of the other ones I found said they were velvet but were actually microfiber... I don't KNOW if this is real velvet but it feels like real velvet, not like cheap microfiber! 

It's definitely firm rather than a plush couch that you can sink into, but I still think it's really comfortable and I prefer the structured look of this one. Love the flexible backrest options (upright, halfway, flat) and the reversible chaise option. 

One thing to note is that the chaise and the couch are NOT connected. My couch is in a corner so the chaise is against the wall, which helps keep it together, but it could slide apart if you pushed against it. If it becomes a problem, I will probably look for some sort of clamp or connector option at the hardware store to connect them more permanently.
