It will be almost one year since we bought this couch and it has held up perfectly. It is very comfortable and every time I start watching a movie I always fall asleep on it. Aside from the that I was also looking for something that would be suitable for my pets. We have two dogs and one cat and I was looking for an upholstery that would not get damaged with the pets we have. I was told that microfiber was the best material to have if you had cats and it was true! My cat starts to poke her nails through the microfiber and I swipe my hand over it and the holes disappear. I love it.
