Hello Mary, It's been a couple months...did you find the sofa you were looking for? I'm actually researching the same one (quality, price, etc). I live in Knoxville, TN and Knoxville Wholesale Furniture has it in their showroom for $1999. If you would, please let me know what you've found out since July. Thanks much, Heather

That is one handsome chair. They've been doing that mix and match look on sofas for years. I don't see it as much on chairs, but I like it a lot.

Thank you for all the encouragement. I am still mulling it over. I did get the sample fabric, and it actually is much darker than how the photo shows, and I think it has more of a dark dark blue gray. I wouldn't call it a true navy- though it is very nice and the texture is good. (I don't know how to describe it but its sort or subtle velvet tweed or soft nub). I am still thinking on it and one other thing is- I would likely get the sofa and loveseat, but would love to get a really comfy chair(like a can I say the word recliner?). We have in the past had a super comfy one that was not gorgeous, but it was ok. To my shock, my husband who is not usually very flexible tried some of those chairs with ottomans like ikea poang or stressless chairs, and thought they were super comfy. Wondering if anyone can suggest something that could work with this sofa style? Of course I will have more questions, but you've all been so helpful I figured I d ask here again.

I have too many leather pieces..because it's too functional..so the plan is to start switching it for something at some point...:) Dislike when stuff is the same. Also, mad about velvet. But. I'm looking right now at two leather chairs my ex husband just gave me back, several years after they stayed at his place (his wife hates them, and I don't lol- they're also smallish and great footprint for our new living)-they're by Natuzzi, real Natuzzi and not their cheaper Italsofa line they sell in Macy's..and they are 17 years old..and now I'd say they at last really need reupholstering..but probably just the handles and the pillows..we'll see. and the color is off-white(yeah I bought them in off white when having a toddler and a baby..so they saw a lot, these poor chairs))..clean them professionally from time to time if they get abused too much, and they'll look like new again. Natuzzi gives you special leather care kit, but in several years, after markers and dysentery, in no particular order, you want to invite somebody who does professional cleaning. Silly me learned about this option too late..we had a sofa as well, and I cleaned it so hard I made a hole in it, after 5 years or so..)) This Natuzzi brand, they know their stuff(or knew, back in those days)..they have several levels of sturdiness, and great explanations about them, and it's custom made to your specs and colors, and it takes 3 months from order to delivery-but exactly three. A lot-but they're true to what they promise.
