Bought this sectional in the color 'cream' and it is perfect for our space.  Arrived in two large boxes, earlier than estimated delivery date, so that was a pleasant surprise.  I have two 20lb dogs and a cat (that's not declawed, so I'm a little nervous about that lol), but in the short amount of time that I've had the sectional, I am truly surprised at how easy and resistant velvet is to general pet dander and things.  Fur/hair brushes right off.  Will still be purchasing a good 'dog/cat blanket' to put on the couch for them to sit to ensure its longevity but so far, I'm impressed.  The sectional itself is beautiful, modern and very comfortable.  It is on the firmer side but my family and I quite like it.
