I was extremely hesitant about purchasing furniture online. However, I have ordered several furniture type items from Overstock and have not been disappointed. I initially saw this set at a furniture store I went to when browsing around for one. The store wanted $1,600.00 for the couch ALONE and another $70 for delivery and tax added upon that. This was exactly the set I saw in a high end furniture store. The delivery from Overstock was as promised within 4 to 6 weeks. I got the call from the movers on a Monday evening and received it promptly the next day @ 9:00 a.m. They unpacked the items, set them up (meaning put the legs on) and inspected them for damage and placed them where I desired in the room. I did upon receiving them have one panel on the bottom of the couch ripped (but that may have occurred in the unpacking of the item). Overstock is addressing the repair of that. Overall, the quality is spectacular. This particular set looks regal in my livingroom. And lets for a moment here not forget that shipping was a mere $2.95 and the service was great! All in all, I would do it again in a heartbeat and will remain a loyal customer to Overstock. Beautiful livingroom set!!!!!!!! This fabric is the latest style (according to furniture stores), and has a similar feel as microsuede. The fabric in person looks very much like distressed leather (and you would not know the difference if you didn't actually touch it), but has the ease, care and feel of microsuede. The studs give it a classy distinction. It would work very well with traditional and rustic styles as well as country casual.
