ok, believe it or not I found more info on the sofa on the Raymore and Flannigan website...what it all means...still not sure. Please advise. Polyester fabric with Renew⢠blended-leather backing Easy-care 100% polyester fabric boasts a soft feel, yet it's tough enough for extensive, everyday use; ecofriendly Renew⢠blended-leather backing is created with recycled leather, which delivers the durability and performance of authentic leather but with a reduced eco-footprint In the description it says the fabric is "Polyester fabric with Renew�� blended-leather backing" Does this mean the polyester is blended with leather or does it mean the polyester is on the part of the sofa that touches you..and the leather is on the back of the sofa? Best Answer: The Renew is used as the backing to create a more durable and easy care fabric.

We looked at the Lazy Boy recliners - the looks of some would work for us, but they weren't very comfortable for us. We got Ekornes Stressless sofas. They recline and are very comfortable. They don't have an integrated foot rest, there are separate ottomans to use with them. We got the theater seating grouping because we like having at least one arm rest per seat, but you can get them in a normal couch configuration. Ours are large (wider seat) but they also have a medium size if you need more compact. In depth (front to back) they are pretty compact because they use a metal frame which allows for a thin back. There is a high back if you prefer that. We got the low back because it makes the room feel molre open and it's high enough for us and we got a couple of their recliners for when we want a higher back. They are pretty expensive but I expect them to be a very long term purchase.

Just bought one a few months ago so I can't address long term. It's holding up so far, though. One thing I don't like is that since it comes in three pieces (due to the power part), everything doesn't line up exactly there the pieces hook together. Most people probably wouldn't notice it, but I do. I keep fluffing up the seat cushions on the ends so they stay level w/ the middle part. Also, the seat depth is a little shallow, so if you're on the fluffy side like me, lying down on the sofa is not the most comfortable position. It's at the beach condo, so not used all the time, so hopefully it will last us a good long time. I love the little buttons for the power! No remote to lose. :) This is the one I got: http://www.besthf.com/best/Furniture/Sofas/Power-Reclining/HATTIE-COLL I think the fabric is the flat woven. Don't recall the exact color, but it's a beigey neutral,

I have painted several pieces and am a huge fan of it however I don't think yours is a good candidate for that because the fabric is not tight. Your furniture I made such that the fabric sags. If you paint the fabric on your pieces the paint will crack.
