Who has Leather Couches? I'm searching don't know whatt to look for.. Need help

Someone told me to look at the grade quality I asked him okay what is it he had no clue. So Help and where should I go. Someone I know spent $4,000 on his leather couches (Nuzzi is the brand name) he bought it at The Place and I'm seeing them for a lot less like $1,500 other places I want quality.

Natauzzi are very good leather couches, but pricier. If you are looking for cheaper, but great quality, we got the Ashley Millenium collection couches, we purchased them at Seaman's (just for the delivery protection and warranties, we didn't want Seaman's couches!) but they are available direct through the company and through other furniture stores.

You have to be careful when shopping for them....a lot of the sofas sold are only partial leather, meaning the sides and back are vinyl. That isn't neccessarily bad, it's just a preference I guess, and it lowers the price. There are also grades of leather, we learned about that at Seigerman's on 110. The higher the grade, the softer the leather. But the softer it is to the touch, the more it scratches. You have to decide if you like that look.

This is ours...it's all leather, buttery, comfortable,, doesn't scratch, and is very durable!!

Thanks so much you gave me really good info. I just printed your post so when I go I know what to ask. Did you say you bought them at Seamans?

Yep...but honestly, I wouldn't recommend them. Their delivery is just horrible (we had issues, but worked them out). If you can pay for them outright, order through an independant store. I know FFO in Oceanside has these couches.

My father has a Natuzzi couch and I am not too crazy with it. Something about that sort of leather makes his couch look more like pleather than leather. It might be the way the couch is upolstered also.

I have a Leather chair from Pottery Barn and love it. Restoration Hardware has some of the best 'chain' furniture out there if you can spend a bit more.
