I am surprised and thrilled with these sofas. We had been looking for ages for reasonably priced sofas. We didn't want to order any online without seeing them first, but after months and months of not finding anything, we decided to go ahead. Given that we've only had them 2 weeks, they seem to be really sturdy. The dog's been on them, but they seem to be reasonably resistant to scratches. Leather is soft and cushions are comfortable. They look great in our living room.
