This is a very nice reclining leather set. The leather is thick and plush but also soft to the touch. I love the color of it which looks a lot darker when in a room with low light. But take a picture of it with a flash and it looks exactly like the Great Offer Stock pictures, just gorgeous. We have small dogs that are up on it all the time and so far hasn't scratched. Just be aware that the recliners are the "push back" with your legs type. When it was delivered the guys were most helpful, courteous and fast to get it situated and move on. We're very pleased with this and would recommend it to others.
