Be careful they are in financial trouble and some believe on the verge of going bankrupt.

I have 2 Karlstad couches in leather with Aluminum legs in my family room. They get a lot of use and abuse from couch potatoes, food, cats (with claws) etc. They look brand new even though they are a few years old. I don't have any problems with the back cushions because they are velcroed into place and never move. We had looked at the Kivik in leather but I didn't like how the arms are wider and lower. Personal choice, I felt they weren't in proportion with the couch. Otherwise it was comfortable and our second choice.

I agree with Nik's experience very much, and whilst Bierkreek have been helpful and in English, I also don't like their website too much. As for 'My Roses', I am wondering if there is something wrong with me, as when I check on their site, I cannot see any roses listed, just a lot of information in German. To find which roses they have, I had to look on HMF and see they have 500 or so, but I cannot see any of this on their website, which would disappoint me. Maybe I am missing something. I think, over here, we are blessed with so many suppliers, Beales and Austin's have such a large inventory to satisfy most people, so only the collector or the curious would want to bother with ordering roses from the Continent. However, there is one that I have not tried so far, but really want to give them some of my business, because they have an excellent website, everything is clear and precise, their FAQ section tells me all I need to know, payment is simple by Paypal or Card... and their delivery charge is very small and covers the entire order for container roses. They also have a good selection of roses that I cannot get here, from all the major breeders, like Guillot, Kordes, Tantau.. etc.. They are actually a Swiss nursery that sends out from near Bremen in Germany, called Lubera.. they also supply via Amazon. A quote from their FAQ: ''You are a Swiss nursery - where do the English texts come from on your homepage? As mentioned, we write and speak English. But honestly not as good as the texts that are posted on our website. We work with a professional translator who specialises in horticulture and helps us with our English''. They really deserve my business, I do hope to order something from them this season. I wonder if anyone here has already ordered from them...?? Lubera

I am vegan (cannot use a leather or down sofa), and have a slipcovered fabric sofa. I do not want to have a slipcovered sofa anymore, but I have 4 very active boys, that drag in mud and dirt. They do not eat on the sofa. I saw a polyester sofa on Wayfair that is supposed to be easy to clean, looks like leather but is not leather or bonded leather or PU leather. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/greyleigh-cainsville-sofa-gryl5498.html Does anyone have experience with this fabric? Is this fabric really easy to clean? Is it durable? Thanks for your help.
