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

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

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
