Great couch, Tanya! :) I have seen some really nice leather couches - they can be really comfy. I stay away from them beause I figure our cat's claws will scratch & ruin them eventually, but I really have seem some nice that have made me come close to changing my mind. :P

Too bad it'll take so long to get it, but oh well, if it's what you like then you should just go for it!

I'm not sure how cats claws would do with leather. Our dogs are not sharp like a cat.. so they dont really cut in, but they can leave marks on skin and I would imagine leather. Thats why we are going with a leather with a bit more protective coating. It still really soft, but the dog's claws and oils cant damage the leather.

I think you found a great sofa!! I think our next one will be leather as it is just really pratical. Best of luck picking a color as that is never easy. As for the lead time that is actually pretty good right now as we typically estimate 12-16 weeks for stuff.

Thanks! I've always been a bit scared of leather.. and I have always thought it looked and felt cold. I was shocked when I saw this in the store and how pretty it was.

Personally.. I think Chris wanted leather all along and tricked me into it. I didnt even want to go into the leather section and he said "lets just look once ok?". Sneaky!

Jason's a big fan of leather furniture too. Once we get a bigger house & have a separate living room & family room, he intends to furnish the family room in black leather couches, big comfy recliners & a HUGE plasma TV with a home theater system. Where's my :rolleyes: smiley? I need him right about now... ;)

Chris's family has leather furniture. I don't really think he had a preference... but this is the only couch we have found that has the clean lines that we want and is super comfy. Its also the first we both loved. We looked at tons and tons of sofas on Saturday (plus from before).

No offense to Jason.. but I hate those big poofy leather chairs :) I know they are really comfy though... I guess they just scream bachelor pad to me ;)

Love it - what color did you get? I was just writing in Lindsay's journal how much I love the curved armrests and how they add such a nice sleek touch to a more-substantial leather couch. You could totally do fun patterned chairs if you don't want to do matching everything... :-)

Well.. we didnt have time to order it yesterday (had to prepare for our pumpkin carving party). We are debating between two colors: pecan and mahogany. So basically.. a chocolate brown color, or a more red brown. I'm leaning towards the more chocolate brown color ( ... )
