I'm in love with this couch. There are similar ones on Wayfair for less money but this one is sturdier and very well-built. It's solid and a beautiful piece. It was delivered in three very big, heavy boxes. You will need at least two people to get them inside. If you are going back and forth about this couch, I highly recommend you just buy it. I got the blue and it is VERY pretty. I generally like velvet because I have cats and cats don't care to scratch it. That being said, claw marks DO show on this. I've got alot of it covered with throw blankets to preserve it. And it does show everything. You will need to wipe it down regularly if you have fur babies.
