I looked at several competing stores before deciding on this couch and am very happy with the purchase. I upgraded the fabric to the textured slub which was a good decision as well. We have young children so were hesitant to get a new couch. But the fabric almost makes liquid bead up instead of soak right in and stain. The cushions are also super comfortable and firm. The only issue I have is that you can see where the zipper and lining show on the end, not a big deal but because of our room set up you can see it (on he back corner). Other than that the couch is perfect for us.
