I love this sofa (in black). I've wanted a black velvet sofa since I was a teen, longer than I'm willing to admit. This ticks all the boxes for me, including the high back I need for my bad back. The only reason I left off a star is that I was expecting it to be ready-made and I had to assemble myself. This was super hard on my own and I'd have paid extra to have it assembled. The delivery guys were nice though and super helpful.
