Would also love to see picture, or at least description, but yes, I think probably if you put some neutral solid no-nonsense fabric on it, it could blend in, depending on what the other furniture is of course and how contemporary. With all the things I've been reading on gardenweb about most new furniture being made in China, of crummy quality, and my own recent experiences trying to find decent new furniture -- I believe we should hang on to our quality-built old furniture and use it if at all possible.

The main difference between McCreary Modern and Lee Industries is that Lee is 8-way hand tied suspension which is more labor intensive and explains the higher cost. 8-way hand-tied is considered the gold standard for sofa suspensions and will typically hold up better than a sinuous spring or webbing suspension. I have been selling Lee Industries for years and have had many repeat customers who are so pleased with their previous Lee pieces they want to purchase again from them - they last for years! Lee does a good job of offering many high-quality, durable fabrics, but alas there are some that get in there that are less then ideal (this would be true for any sofa manufacturer). Make sure you buy from a retailer that knows their stuff so they can point you in the right direction of a fabric that is suitable for your lifestyle. The down cushions I do not recommend unless you want to fluff them daily. Whatever manufacturer you choose try to get an innerspring cushion wrapped in fiber or down - they hold up the best!

I bought my leather sofa's from Elite leather out of California. I live in Florida and knew nothing of this company but they had styles I liked, were made in America and have a huge custom color selection. The prices are more in the middle in the world of leather sofas. So far so good after four years. At first I thought I had a flaw in the corner of a cushion. They sent two new inserts. It smoothed out after awhile and I haven't had to use the new insert. I can't remember the ship time but remember it came early. I would buy from them again. At one point before pushing the buy button I heard Elite had a side cheaper line that came out of China. Before buying I called the company to be sure my sofas were the American made ones. They are. I never found out if in fact there is a side china link. I bought the Aero sofa in two different sizes for an L shape in my long skinny room. I feel your pain in deciding. When you look at leather sofa reviews even very high end have their sprinkling of bad reviews. It gets so confusing. http://www.eliteleather.com/products/sofas/contemporary Leather colors. http://www.eliteleather.com/materials/colors Types of leather choices. http://www.eliteleather.com/materials/types-of-leather Construction.

In my experience bonded leather sofas degrade pretty quickly ("leather" peels off) but a true leather Chesterfield will last forever. Velvet, on the other hand, is almost impossible to get "ick" off of. I would do a leather sofa in a saddle brown or white leather and then add blue velvet pillows and a blue velvet side chair that's cheaper to replace if it gets ruined. A sleeper sofa is also a good investment for an Airbnb. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/omnia-leather-jackson-leather-sleeper-sofa-otl1790.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/design-tree-home-katrina-3-seater-leather-chesterfield-sofa-dsag1656.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/alcott-hill-potterslane-high-back-new-velvet-wingback-chair-alth2523.html
