Overall, I was a bit disappointed in this purchase, but it's true that you get what you pay for. The fabric was the biggest let-down. It's like a strange shiny velvet knock-off and just looks and feels rather cheap. There are also some dark markings on ours that won't go away, so I hid them behind throw pillows. The loveseat does not seem very sturdy either, so I will be very surprised if this piece actually holds up over time. I do love the dark gray color and the nailhead detail and the loveseat looks nice in our rustic theater room.
