This is a beautiful, velvet sofa! It is exactly as described. I had it out of the box  assembled in less than 20 mins. It feels sturdy  the back of the sofa is padded  
the upholstery is uniform. It is more of a conversation piece than a lounge feel, but the design notes that impression. Very good quality for the price, looks very high end. I like that the legs are not in the front but more recessed, so the sofa has more of a floating look.
