I got these in the color blue. I decided to go with a velvet material since I have cats and cats hate the feel of velvet on their claws. Which is great since they wont stratch it. We payed to have them assembled. The guys were super helpful and amazing. They didnt make a mess and listen to my instructions on the placement of the sofas. The blue is such a beautiful rich color and it looks amazing with the silver, grey and gold decor accents. Plus my cats love the arms and enjoy sitting there while we watch TV. They are fairly easy to clean, I use a mini vaccum.
