The leather is buttery soft, flawless color, and oh so comfortable!  My husband and I had been looking for a new sofa for months, but could not find the perfect thing--until this.  The pictures do not even do it justice.    We had it unpacked and set up within a few minutes after arrival and  our yorkie was already curled up on the back, thus showing his approval.  We soon joined him and enjoyed a comfortable night in, all snuggled up on our new favorite spot in the house.
