Restoration Hardware Leather Sofa
Comments (44)In today’s market place between online merchants and local furniture stores you can find almost anything you are searching for. There is a fine line to finding quality leather furniture at a price most can afford. RH gets tons of attention because of their large marketing budget and many retail locations but as you can see by this thread there are many other alternatives to their styles and leather color selection. 8-way hand tied, solid hardwood frame and premium leather are a must when searching for quality leather furniture. Furniture products made in America are much higher quality and you should expect them to last longer than the same looking products made off shore (China). As you can see in viewing this thread, there are so many other options to the same looking RH designs. Comfort and good quality are the bottom line at a price we can afford. Materials used, country of origin and your leather choice will dictate your price point. Before you buy leather furniture anywhere, take a few minutes and get educated about your purchase.

Comments (89)I've been thinking...what I really want, is the courage to follow my gut. I made the mistake of telling someone about the plan to paint the entryway pink, and I got that "Oh..." Then I found fabric I like for some chairs. For the pink entry. Looked at the swatch for a few days, decided it was the perfect thing, drove the 25 miles back to the fabric store, carefully measured it out with the chair pattern, bought it, brought it home, and my parting thought when I went to bed was that it would never work, the cats would shred it, it was the wrong weave, the wrong color, and would look like a hot mess. Today, not so much....See MoreLooking for a sofa...Restoration Hardware or Henredon?
Comments (14)Apologies for super long post but I have a lot of opinions here :) I also love the Maxwell but second the concerns about RH quality. If you decide to look at Casco Bay, conduct very detailed and careful reasearch. That company has a very suspicious posting history on Houzz and Gardenweb. Not saying you won't be happy but it felt off to me. I recently purchased a sofa from a company called Of Iron & Oak. Made in North Carolina (although sold by a shop in New Jersey) with a lifetime warranty on springs and frame. I do not expect it to be built like some of the higher end furniture makers but I am ok with that. The customer service was also very good. I do not yet have the sofa as I am waiting on the shipper (and fairly unhappy about the shipping time FYI). Sophie has made good recommendations (especially CR Laine from my limited experience) but be prepared to spend big bucks. I had a quote from one of the big name furniture makers for a 6 foot leather sofa at $12,000. Perhaps reasonable for some but too rich for me. I personally do not want a sofa that will last 50+ years. I want a 6 ft. leather sofa that will last a solid 15 years and I wanted to spend less than 5K. With regards to CR Laine, I recently scored a very nice CR Laine chair on a massive discount and I really love it. It is comfortable and built like a tank. I was also in Yosemite over the holidays. While at the Awahnee Hotel waiting for our dinner reservations, we took a seat on a very nice tight back English roll arm upholstered in leather. It was seriously the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on. I started flipping the seat cushions (drawing the stink eye from my fiancee) and sure enough, CR Laine....See MoreRestoration Hardware feather wrapped core sofa. To buy or not to buy?
Comments (7)Restoration Hardware makes a quality craftsman product. While their product comes from China, they own the factories there so there is a high level of quality control. A feather wrapped core will offer more support or cleaner lines than an all feather pillow. Likely created because some folks love the feel of feather, but not the maintenance of having to paddle the cushion to redistribute the feathers every so often. I would recommend Restoration Hardware furniture after having worked in high-end home interiors for years and even own a Restoration Hardware sofa. Go for it!...See Moreacdesignsky
