The sofa is beautiful and looks great in my living room. The velvet fabric is very chic and the sofa style is classy, but still very functional. Our sofa arrived with some staples sticking out along the back base which was very disappointing. I was able to fix it myself and received a small discount. Also disappointing is that the sofa has a loud crunching noise in the stuffing when you sit down and get up. I associate that with less expensive, lesser quality furniture and it’s unfortunate I have that with such a beautiful piece. I’m a bit worried about its longevity.
