Was just beautiful real velvet couch like we wanted. The trouble although was the occasional problem with the ource manufacturing process.  Many missed screw holes, double cross threaded holes,  had to use wood screws to attach the parts that weren't properly done when it was in the factory in Vietnam. My husband is a  Macgyver level problem resolution guy, which is what you may need to be too to complete your sofa if yours is like ours was. We took couple day's to finally get it done but a couple times we were close to sending it back!
