Dark grey microsuede fabric and faux leather. Very easy to clean. Has additional protection added to the microsuede. Reclines in two positions. You can lean back with feet up or all the way back. The pillowing provides lumbar support for extra comfort. There are no stains or scratches. There are marks on the back from reclining against the wall. I put it in the pictures. Just to let you know, I am on the 3rd floor. West Oaks Apts. Vance Jackson.
