Just perfect! We debated whether to order this or not, as the red color seen in the photo of it with the wall and plant seemed perfect, but the stand-alone photo made it appear an electric bright, shiny plastic red.  We were pleased to discover the red color is much closer to the picture of it by the wall--a deeper red that goes perfect with our movie-themed living room.  I also think the quality is very nice.  Yes, it's not actual leather (or it'd be wayyy more expensive), but I still think it's got a softness to it that doesn't make it obviously not leather (plastic-y/pleather-y).  It also is very sturdy, and there's ample storage space.
