The color is so rich and beautiful. The couch is firm and the cushions are held in place with Velcro so they don’t keep moving out of place.i did not want to add any decorative cushions on it as it is a statement piece on its own. Only set back is with the color so dark and the suede kind of fabric ,if you have a pet that sheds you better be ready with a lint brush all the time. But overall I LOVE this piece.
