I absolutely love this couch. I was really worried about the velvet being too suede like and shiny. I have a lot of antiques and it goes beautifully with them. The pile on the velvet is high and has an amazing texture. It's incredibly easy to clean. I spilled half a bottle of red wine and it cleaned up well.
Also! This couch is comfy. I fell asleep with a bottle of wine in my hand.
I wish the feet were brown instead of black and the brass tacks could be brighter. 

I'm really happy.
