We had never purchased furniture of any kind on line before so were pretty nervous about what to expect.. Luckily our worries were unfounded. We had an oversized sofa and love seat before purchasing this sectional. This totally opens up our living room and makes it feel much larger!! We searched long and hard in our area to find a sectional that was real leather at a decent price -- no such luck.. SO glad we held out till we found this one on amazon. I'm off to buy the matching ottoman now!!
