I was reluctant to make such a significant purchase online, but went through with it for 2 reasons - 1) I had already seen alot of similar pieces in person and had a good idea of what to expect based on the pictures and brief description supplied by Overstock & 2) the other customer reviews for this piece were both informative & very positive . . . now that I have had the sectional for 2 weeks I thought I would contribute my own very positive review- I love the piece: it is very comfortable, the color and quality of the leather are what I was hoping for, & the overall workmanship is good. Other aspects of the purchase (delivery and cleanup of packaging) went very smooth as well. I recommend this piece and will definitely use overstock.com again.
