leather sofas - H&M versus Legacy quality, recommended dealers?
Comments (1)Someone here posted a link a couple of pages back to a ranking of leather manufacturers. Don't know how accurate it is but there also seems to be some good basic leather facts on the site. We've had a Classic Leather sofa, the Providence model, for more than ten years. It was on the pricey side but is the best purchase we ever made. Nice styling and a soft touch to the leather. We love it. Here is a link that might be useful: Leather manufacturer ratings...See MoreWhere to order Brad-Youngor Classic Leather sofa on-line from NC
Comments (14)Normally if a local store is not competitive, there are one of two reasons: 1) The store owner has not adapted to current market conditions. Quite simply, as the profit margins move downward - and they have - they have not revised their business structure to capture sales that would otherwise go to out-of-area dealers. Some store owners insist on adhering to a margin-based price structure and will not adjust. The smart businessman NEVER lets a customer walk out to do business out-of-area. I know a number of store owners who are hard-headed and won't adapt. Its up to you, their local customer, to bring in a price quote and show them that they need to match it or you'll go elsewhere. If enough customers do that, they'll get the message. But if you never tell them, then they don't know. 2) Some furniture makers have a 2-tier price structure. Small stores don't get as large a discount from the maker as larger ones do. Typically its based on dollar-volume sold, or number of pieces put on the floor. So there is a chance that within a certain brand line that you local dealer is paying more for the goods than a larger, out-of-state discounter. This happens to me with Southwood Furniture as an example. My cost basis is 10 % less than the big store in the next county because they do more volume by accident than I do working hard at it. Still they get the volume price and I don't. Nevertheless, I adapt (being a savvy dealer!) and match price or go under them everyday. It results in thin margins, and it does not exactly make me want to invest in a lot of their product for the floor. Personally, I think it a bad policy from the makers as it tends to keep the little guys small regardless of how hard they work for the brand and limits floor exposure for their dealership network. Walk your best price into your local dealer and tell them in no uncertain terms they need to beat it. See what happens! Keep in mind however, that local sales tax is not something that your hometown store cannot waive and should be factored out when price shopping (the flip side of this is that these taxes do come back into your community infrastructure when you buy locally).

Comments (0)I couldn't find anything on the forums (or much on Google) regarding Laurent leather sofas and what those of you in the know think of them. A couple local retailers carry Laurent and suggested they are a good value since they are lesser known compared to H&M, Lee, Sherrill, etc. Anybody have any experience with Laurent or any thoughts on the quality of construction? From what I'm told they're one of the better constructed sofas (8-way hand-tied, hardwood frame, etc.). I haven't been able to find any NC dealers? We're seriously considering a Legacy Leather sofa (Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions....See MoreChoosing color of new leather chair to match current leather sofa
Comments (1)Yes, I would go for the same color/leather if that is the style of armchair you want. But that could be hard to find. Lighter brown could work too; just need to see it. I would also suggest considering some other styles. Eames lounge chair might work well and takes less space:...See Moresamat40
