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.

Nope, look good. Normally it will only start cracking after 5th year, but I see some well taken care and last more than 10 years

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.

I see. Mine can be 3+2+1, just that my space for the 3 seater is quite short at 2.1m only. So that design that you got looks ideal, and i'm not a fan of the recliner style also. How much did you pay for 3 + 1? And half leather also rite?

Can use your price as comparison with 'loumou' here. brows.gif

Thanks.

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

Go for good leather.

I got a lazboy recliner retailign about ~6k... salesmen recomend a higher range with nice soft supple leather... no regrets man... after a few years still as good feeling as when I first bought it. Just wipe it down and apply some leather care once a year...

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.

Every 2 weeks is kinda ridiculous... i maintain mine once a year.. and it looks great

Got it! Anyway, i've decided not to rush to buy pre-gst for Sofa. Realized that have to test and try and feel more comfortable before making the purchase. Was also advised by another helpful forummer to check out Omega sofa - they're based in penang but have on display during exhibition fair. I may just make a weekend trip to penang to eat and at the same time check out his company and omega's.

Still see many people do not know how to see good leather/real leather...don't trust salesman too much..casa leather is like bonded leather..by the way, real leather does not stick to your skin if you sweat..those are all embossed leather..

Went to Viva Home today. The guys at Ground Floor sell at a full leather at RM3999. Too good to be true?

@alextanck84, how to check whether the cow leather is embossed leather or real leather?
