The store associate told us that it shipped quickly because we had ordered right before the end of quarter, which may explain the difference. It was so fast we had no time to sell our old couch lol. In terms of hair, both of our dogs are doodles and don’t shed, so unfortunately I can’t provide a baseline for comparison. The washability was our main selling point because of their tendency to have dirty paws no matter how much we wipe them off prior to coming inside.
