I settled on this sofa after my husband refused to pay for a custom made leather sectional. This was a fraction of what I thought we would have to pay for this quality. Delivery was great, as we live very rural and they listened and called as we told them GPS does not work for our location. Each piece was delivered in impeccable condition and completely wrapped and protected from the elements. The sectional is all leather, not just seating area. The sofa is firm, comfortable and works well with our decor. The color is a very dark brown, almost black, therefore a neutral. I believe it will stand the test of time. Delivery was 7 weeks, but we had read that on other reviews and we are remote location, so not surprised.
