My husaband and I were looking for a new set for our new home and honestly i would have not imagine how great they look the black color is perfect, the material is soft and just comfortable to sit on. i recommend it but if you have a big living room and want something big to fit this would not be it, unless you dont mind but i love our set. We have received great compliments. It was easy to set up. The only down side about it is just the way package is handle two of our boxes were pretty bit up, good thing the part that was chipped went in the inside of it and it is not visible to see. If the handling was more gentle i would not mind it. But besides that, the style is just how we pictured it.
