So, the sofa just came. I had my eye on a sofa similar to this for a looong time at a different on-line retailer. But, after hunting for honest reviews found out it comes in a color much lighter than pictured on their website and was pure aniline leather, which STAINS HORRIBLY and easily. distraught, I went searching for a similar piece which I had made my redecorating plan around, and accidentally stumbled onto a BIG sale at Great Offer Stock and this little beauty. only 3 reviews, but all three great. still...a sofa without sitting on it? it was scary.
It came today. the delivery drivers COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER! i was afraid how I would deal with just getting a box, but i have big doors and a big elevator and they were just amazing! unpackaged, and its GORGEOUS. just as pictured, amazingly soft leather, very comfortable, well put together. This is semi-aniline leather, so all the good and a lot less of the bad. liquid will not sink in as fast and cleans up easier, but it will scratch. I do think that the scratches will add to its charm as it ages. Its one of those pieces that will get worn and old and end up in a library somewhere. but, at the price I paid, if it lasts only 2 years, pffft BARGAIN. I am relieved and amazed. adding a picture. if you are tempted DO IT
