I was looking for a well built leather couch that wouldnt break the bank or takeover my small Brooklyn living room.  This is a classy and comfortable piece, though if you have the space you might want something bigger.  Dont get me wrong, its not small and Im quite tall, its just the trend these days seems to be towards huge leather sofas that you sink into - this is not that.  For my space though, its perfect.  Quality item.
