Hi all,

Planning to buy a new sofa..
U all know la.. All salesman say dao their sofa is the best..

He say cow skin is the most quality one (the salesman even grab my car key and scratch the sofa.. No scratch at all 😮)
He says that CASA leather is a lower grade.. The leather will come out in bout 9 months..
When i tried the CASA leather sofa, it feels very good.. Soft and like.. the sofa is hugging u 😄..

So my question is, is casa leather really not that durable? The leather will come out after a year or two?
Cow skin leather is durable but price is quite high.. Bout RM7.5k

The casa leather sofa is around RM5k...

And does anyone here heard bout this brand b4?
Firenze & Venzo...
Which one more famous in terms brand?😄

Thx all

cannot have sex on leather sofa unless the aircond is fullblown, once you sweat your skin will stuck with the leather surface and disable your ability to thrusting or moving or anything really.

the more you know.

Casa leather is good, typically you pay RM1600-1800 for a 2+3 set

Better to save up and get Cow leather, better in the long run

Casa leather 1+1+3 = rm5000 nett, brand: venzo
The cow learher 1+1+3 = rm7400, brand : livino (or smtg like that😅)

Difference of rm2400, is quite a lot..

my aunty bought this for her house.....half leather, cow hide (the back and the side is PU)
the brand is ELK....quality is quite good....price is 3800 for 1 + 3. Am not sure if the price is the same for now.
This was purchased last year mid Q4....

Wow hushymushy.. The sofa looks really comfy 😍😍
ELK brand.. Will take note on that! 👍

yes....they are comfortable....and i like the fact that its quite firm and doesn't sink in easily...

the back support is just great
for the older folks....getting up is fairly easy as the sofa holds you nicely....

leather quality is quite good.....
i actually ordered the same sofa......but different colour
haven't took delivery yet as house still in reno progress

do note this set doesn't come with recliners

Hi! Where did you get it? Do they have a showroom to test it out? Thanks

bought from fellow forummer loumou who runs Hoi Kong Furniture

they are located at kuchai lama. you search Hoi Kong Furniture in FB and browse through their sofa

they dont have a showroom per se......thye have some ELK on display but not all of it....
mostly L shape sofas on display....
even then the L shape sofa is quite nice to sit on....

i also ordered 1 recliner armchair from them.....the same model as their demo set.....

the price probably increased by now...best to check with them

Seldom read "loumou" here, maybe too busy.

leather tahan longer, real leather la. can clean easily.

go for full leather if u must.

please bear in mind that leather is pretty high maintenance. you will need to apply conditioner on it quite often.

i have a full leather sofa which I bought from Lorenzo. leather tends to wrinkle and to make the wrinkle less visible, i apply conditioner to it every 2 weeks once.

Not necessary if its from a good leather, just normal plain water to clean will do. And lotion maybe once a year. Car leather for example can last 5 years + without much take care off. My house Sofa only lotion hmmm maybe twice only since 2011

Typically you pay this for a Casa Leather

Ah ok! Yes i've heard of him and planning to drop by his shop, but then they do not have full range to test and sit on. After looking at elk's, maybe worth a trip to go to their showroom in Klang to get a feel. I'm limited to 3s, 2s + 1s like what your aunt and yourself has chosen, but of course best is i get to feel and sit on it too.

all my sofas are leather and so far no issue

only this time i'm getting half leather as i thought the leather is important that the area we sit on.....

hey bro.....we didn't get the 2 seater coz of space....

so please take note the price we bought at, was for 3 + 1.

eventually casa leather not the lowest grade in market, there are more leather type lower than casa exp belle, pu,pvc and more

casa leather is synthetic leather, and its fair enough you pay what you get. Surprisingly more durable than you thought (it also depends on manufacturer too) It depends on how u maintain too, some can last 5 yrs+ some 7+. some 9+

no matter what sofa you buying (genuine / synthetic), you needs to maintain and take good care of it (no kids jumping, long hours sleeping on it, dont sit on it with pants with button)

we sold quite numbers of casa leather no issue with leather come out after few months usage

but its fair enough if you willing to spend more, genuine leather(half/ full) definitely more durable and comfortable

casa leather should be lower than 5k(L-shape/ 123), range should be 2k+ to 4k+, meanwhile you could get some good deal for genuine leather sometimes range around 3k+ - 5k +

hope my experience could help u bit

wouldn't the leather looks dry?

i see some cars that are less than 5 years, the leather starts to have cracks as it is exposed under the sun and dries it up.
