Denise-I did a google search yesterday when I saw your posting. There were good reviews on the PB webset and mixed reviews elsewhere--some bad. It's so hard to know. Do they have the sectional you are looking at at the store?? If so, that may give you an indication of how it might wear.

Thanks so much for all the info everyone. I think I will keep looking. From what you say, I think I may be able to get better quality for the price. It is really hard to find a combination of good quality, a style I like and nice fabric all in one place. I agree about the need to do the tush test, it is just so darn hard here because we have so few quality furniture stores. I have found one custom place that is wonderful, but it is $2300 minimum for a chair. Our budget is about $850 per and I thought we should be able to get a decent chair for that but maybe not. I looked at the Lee industries web site and I am in love. Unfortunately, the closest is even further away than PB. I may email them to see what they can do for me. Does anyone have any idea about cost of the Lee products?

I think that configuration is a bad idea. you'd be better off with a sofa and moveable ottomans than a loveseat + chaises on each end.

IMO if you want good quality leather furniture none of these companies would be my go to. I like Italian made leather furniture and Natuzzi has pieces in every price range and BTW IMO sectionals are the most expensive uncomfortable seating you can buy. Comfort in seating comes from having at least one armrest so a sectional gives you 2 people that have that. So save money and buy a sofa, in fact the nicest is a sofa and 2 chairs. I have owned good quailty Italian leather furniture all out married life so 50+ yrs and I have never regretted the price I paid otr the pieces I bought .
