Softer feel, almost brushed look of the faux leather than it looks in the photo. Nice and firm yet comfy. Very pretty...made in North Carolina (according to the attached tag).  Deliverers did a good job, almost dropped it but caught it quickly!  Took 2 months to get it, though - maybe COVID? Isn’t that the reason for any delays these days. Just mentioning this so that you are patient if you decide to purchase.  It is worth the wait- price is right for the quality.
