The Noah sofa is beautiful. The back cushions are soft and comfortable yet they keep their shape really well. The seat cushions give the appearance of being soft but are much firmer. Since the back cushions are so thick you lose a little bit of that seat depth. Material is very nice but I do think it will require professional cleaning on a regular basis. My first order took a while, it got damaged during transportation so I was informed that delivery was being cancelled and a new one would be shipped it out. It took about two months to receive it.
