I don't really use this couch much. The photos make it look shiny like leather, but it's microfiber. I have cats, so I kept it covered with a blanket at all times. Back cushions can be removed, but bottom cushions cannot. Easy to transport as the legs, arms, and back can all come apart easily. It's pretty light as it is, but I took it apart to fit it in and on my car when I got it second-hand last year. I can help you load it up. Near hospital. Cash only.
