I’m obsessed with this couch! I was definitely on the fence but the price was great so we took the chance and I’m glad we did! This couch arrived a week early in 6 compact boxes. The fabric is more of a soft suede than faux leather and it is a little thin so pet claws would probably rip it,but the color and feel is really nice. It was very easy to assemble, it took my husband and I maybe 45 minutes. All of the cushions expanded rather quickly except for the 2 corner pieces, but after a full day they’ve puffed up. The backs of the couch aren’t top quality but as long as you aren’t pulling or hanging on it, I think it’ll hold up well. The bottom cushions are firm yet comfortable!
