My overall shopping experience at Sphere wasn't bad - no one was rude or curt, but the sofa did take about 2 weeks longer than it was supposed to, and when it arrived, it had the wrong legs on it. The correct legs took another couple weeks to arrive. The sofa is great - comfortable, cool-looking, with nice leather. I also bought 2 benches and 2 chairs - the finish on these pieces leaves a lot to be desired. They all began chipping almost immediately due to a very weak veneer finish. They're heavy, which gives the impression of being durable, but the surfaces scratches if you breathe on it. I got them in chocolate, and underneath the dark coat is a very light, soft wood which has shown up all over the pieces like the worst case of chicken pox you've ever seen. I am happy with the leather seating surfaces, though - it's thick and comfortable; too bad the wood isn't the same. All in all, I say 3 stars - the sofa I'd give a 4 or 5; the chairs and benches would get a 2. Side note - I'm a little leary that 2 of the 5-star glowing reviews come from users with only one review each - seems a little fishy...
