Does anybody compare Hancock & Moore Austin sofa and high back sofa? is that a big difference?

I am looking for either of them, anybody know the listing price? if I want to purchase them, should I go online shopping or just try the local dealer? I am living at Austin TX.

many thanks,

Franky

Yes, there is a very definite seating difference between the standard Austin and the High Back models. The High Back is larger in all dimensions, not only height, and anyone over 5'10" generally prefers the High Back. However the sofa is large so make sure you have clearances to get it in your home.

Price depends on the hide selected. Both are available in the Town and Country promotional grouping in Cavalier Oxblood, Cavalier Dark Blue, and Document Chestnut. Those are your best prices. Typically around $ 2,300 for the standard and another $ 300 for the tall back model in those hides. Price will go up if you select in the main handle.

The Austin series is far and away the top-selling Hancock and Moore piece.

Duane, thanks a lot for your info.

I checked the spec from HM website, 8138NB high back, 41Hx86Wx45D, inside 73Wx21D; and 8134NB regular, 36Hx86Wx40D, inside 73Wx21D. It seems 8134NB only 5 inch shorter and 5 inch less deeper.

But if it is only $300 price difference, I will definitely go for high back. Is the price you gave to me is retail price or MSRP? and how could you know the hide type from the HB 8138NB number, is there other spec talking about hide?

thanks again.

Anyone own a Hancock and Moore Austin High Back Chair
Q

Sure, I'm a H&M dealer and can tell you the Austin High Back is a GREAT CHAIR! And I can also tell you that ANY cushion, from ANY maker will "sack out" with use. How soon depends on the weight of the person, and how many hours are spent in the chair. The better companies like H&M, Bradington Young, and Leathercraft will give you a new cushion upon request, all you do is pay the UPS charges (about $ 25). Zip-in, Zip-out. I usually see replacement requests at the seven to ten year mark, not sooner. What's more important in leather furniture is to clean the leather 2x a year, with a leather cleaner and conditioner. If you fail to clean your leather and use the chair hard, it will deteriorate and the hide will be all done in less than a decade. Keep it clean and it will last a lifeime.

Who has the best prices for Hancock & Moore sofas?

My store in Alexandria VA ships nationwide on Hancock and Moore, I have customers all over the country including many in Illinois. Send me an email to keepingroom@gmail.com and include the model number, the leather cover you are interested in and your zip code and I will get a quote back to you in less than 24 hours. Some notes on pricing. 1) Be sure you get a dealer that stands behind you after the sale, the lowest price is no good if they ignore your phone calls should there be an issue. 2) Home delivery services cost three times more than delivery to a commercial address (18 wheeler accessible off the back of the truck). If you have the capability to unpack it and transport the last mile to your home you can save quite a bit in that area. 3) There are significant price increase coming in January 2021. Supply chain costs have gone up considerably. 4) Century Furniture (Rock House Brands) owns Hancock and Moore. Century has already implemented collection of Sales Tax into Illinois for that brand, its only a matter of time before you will be paying sales tax on H&M into your state as they consolidate accounting systems, this is likely to happen in 2021 as well, along with all the other Rock House Brand Companies. Currently we are shipping Hancock and Moore without that sales tax added. Duane Collie

Hancock and Moore Austin High Back Chair

dorry2 -- I have the Hancock and Moore Austin Sofa and High Back Chair w/ ottoman in Burgundy leather. Beautiful, very high quality set. We've had it for about 3 years and LOVE it. The chair is my reading chair and I use it quite a bit every day/evening -- so comfy! The only regrets I have are 1) wish I didn't get burgundy color, which is what the Stickley store stocked -- didn't want to pay more and wait longer for a different color, but now after a few years, I wish it was a warmer more neutral color leather that would be easier to decorate/change colors with more often; and 2) for the placement in my living room, a recliner would have worked better than the chair and ottoman, as the ottoman gets in the way and is almost on top of my coffee table. It is VERY comforatable, but a little cramped vs. having a recliner where the footrest part goes back into the chair when not sitting there. As far as H & M vs. B-Y brands, I think the H & M is a little better made and a little higher quality, as the Stickley store definitely sells H & M at a higher price than the B-Y. Both are very nice quality lines, though. Good luck with your shopping ... P.S. - When we bought our chair, the showroom carried both the straight-back stationary chair and the tilt-back chair (for a little bit more money) ... my husband and I both thought the stationary chair was more comfortable overall than the tilt-back.

my3dogs, it's called an "apartment size" couch. If you do end up shopping retail for leather furniture, DEFINITELY hit Curriers!! (They don't sell H&M though.) We bought a Bradington-Young couch and chair/ottoman there in 2002 when we were riding the gravy train for a bit and absolutely loved working with them - Jan Currier, the owner's wife, spent hours with us and was just wonderful. They have a (literal) bargain basement that often has some pretty good stuff along with the inevitable "what were they thinking???" items. (The last time I was there there was a burnt-orange Buddha-belly sectional that had to have been at least ten feet long on each side - with two ginormous matching recliners! DH and I both nearly wet ourselves laughing. Jan said it had been a special order that the customer had never finished paying for and so it had been sitting there for years. I wonder if they ever unloaded it.) Their prices beat the pants off anywhere else in the Seacoast, too. Sorry, OSH, you won't be able to live vicariously through me on this one... it's waaaaaay too formal for this house, even if I had anywhere to put it! ("Your" couch is going in the kitchen sitting area once the LR sectional arrives, and then we'll be overloaded on the "big furniture" - I'll be getting rid of a couple of pieces. BTW, DH still calls you "the couch lady" and asks how you're doing every so often. :-))

Franky,

I know the hide types and promotions because I'm a high volume Hancock and Moore dealer and have most of them memorized!

Those prices I gave you are typical selling prices from aggressively-priced dealers on that one promotion (Town and Country). Note too, that on any other hide but those spec'd, prices will climb quickly.

I have the two (standard and tall back) at my store at exactly $ 300 difference, doesn't mean every dealer will do the same but it should be close.

Make sure you have at least a clear 32" of door space for the Tall Back, and even with that the legs have to be unscrewed to get through the door.
