To answer your probable first question: Yes, it does look this good in person.There are tons of too-good-to-be-true online furniture outfits, but Valencia is the real deal.This was my first major online furniture purchase, and Valencia was proactive and responsive in a way that I have never experienced with an Amazon-based retailer, continuously in communication via phone and chat, preempting any questions I might have had about shipping and logistics.Valencia kept me updated regularly with the status of my shipment, which took about 2 weeks to arrive.I knew when my sofa was in transit and at our local freight hub.They worked with me to coordinate a delivery to my rural area, which the third-party carrier honored.Valencia highly recommends having another able-bodied person on standby to help move the sofa when it arrives; the carrier is only expected to unload it via liftgate.My carrier was kind enough to dolly it to my front porch, but don't count on it.This is a large piece, securely boxed in sturdy corrugate.Due to the design of the sofa, because all of the cushions are removable, the box is able to fit through narrow doorways.But it is heavy and full-length; you will need a helper to move it and will want one, ideally, to help unbox it.Construction is solid, and assembly is very quick and easy.The wood base and legs are solid and handsome, and the leather is thick, real, and consistent.It has only the faintest leather aroma (I'd prefer a bit more), but it is buttery soft and well upholstered; none of the seams or stitching are stressed, and the cushions fit snugly in their intended arrangement.As some reviewers have remarked: the sofa is firm, but not unyielding.The cushions are a dense foam wrapped with a layer of thick batting.From the outset, it is not soft enough in my opinion for comfortable laying/lounging, but in the few months I have enjoyed it, it is beginning to break in.With an ottoman, it provides fantastic upright seating for a very comfortable reading posture.I expect that over many years, the sofa will soften, begin to show a slight patina, and the cushions will yield a bit to accommodate my preferred seating positions.Frankly, I prefer that scenario to a sofa that is soft from the outset but entirely unsupported after break-in.All in all, if you're like me, you are eyeing this sofa because you love its aesthetics and attracted by the pricing, which is neither too high to stomach nor too low to possibly equate to a quality product.Indeed, this is a piece that exudes craftsmanship, and Valencia does a best-in-class job of facilitating its sale, transit, and care.Highly recommended!

If you want a semi firm, high quality, and a good designed couch with genuine leather then definitely get this one! Valencia seems like a solid brand and this is my first real couch. I can see it lasting forever. Delivery is easy, will fit through a standard door and assembly is just screwing in the legs. I love it!!

For starters the color is perfect! It’s not too harsh of a brown with just the right orange undertones. The leather is very smooth and doesn’t have a strong smell to it. The cushions are on the firmer side but should wear down nicely over time.The wood legs and base are what catches the eye and seem very sturdy. Over all I’m very happy with this buy and the price is worth it.
