This is a beautiful sofa. It came as described and I just had to screw the legs on, which were slightly hidden in a zippered compartment underneath the couch. The top of the sofa, including the three cushions, are leather. The back and sides are made of a matching faux leather-like material. I have end tables and a sofa table, so the different material is completely unnoticeable. The cushions have a Velcro strap underneath that keep them in place on the sofa. The smell was like a new car with leather seats, but it went away after a week.
