This is a great item of beautiful materials and soft shapes. The materials are very heavy and solid, but the shape of this sofa makes it very gentle. this sofa is in a very good condition with signs of age. We've been told that before people sat on it a blanket was put over the cushions to protect these. The woolen fabric is in a excellent condition as are the fillings and metal springs inside. If you do not like the fabric, these are straightforward cushions that can easily be re-upholstered (in a very nice Ploeg or Kvadrat for example) to your own preferance.
