Although its approx. 10yrs old, it’s still a comfortable couch. Both the left hand and right-hand arms have dents into the padding as we have always had cushions.

The darn cat used the left-hand front corner as an intermittent scratching post. They have a scratching post. Ready to shoot her! So apart from the scratch area, it is in good condition.
The 4th image gives you the best idea of colour. We have it against a dark wall which didn’t make for good pics. Great for the spare room, games room and the kids.
