I was very unsure about this couch, but my decorator picked it out. She told me that she had recommended this before and the quality of the fabric has longevity. I was leaning toward a more structured couch for the room. I am so glad I trusted her! This is the best TV watching couch. It is very soft, so if you need firm don't buy this. It is also low to the ground. Being low and extra soft could be an issue if you have someone with bad knees or something like that. However it doesn't both me. I like the fact that it has a chaise that can be right or left facing also. Fabric is very soft and seems durable. I definitely recommend this one.
