I wanna ask the folks here, I was at the Sunway Home expo recently and most of the sofas there are selling some type of Leather which they call it ECO leather, advantages is that is doesn't scratch and maintenance is minimal and looks like leather.

I know the cost is almost as half as full leather, around 4k or so but I actually do not like real leather especially cow leather.
As a person like me who doesn't waste time maintaining leathers, in coming years real leather will crack and scratches will be easily seen and it will have more if you have children, I don't wanna spend something so expensive and it needs to be taken care properly in order for it to look nice.

So my question is that, is there any side effects that people see with this type of synthetic leather in their use in the log run? If anyone can convince me why leather is still better I' all ears but it can't have the cons of full leather.

Pic below is from a company called Modeno, nice design and price reasonable, all inputs are welcome!

Hi, want to ask about cellini sofa. Not much review i found online on this brand. Understand it is expensive brand but do it really worth the price? Now looking at their Ross. Anyone can share the experience? Thanks!

I'm a newbie currently buying furnitures for my new house. Bought my first L shape sofa set yesterday (2+L) at Matrade home expo, from a brand called Hauzze sofa for RM3880. They upgraded my fabric to premium quality fabric called Brunotte (those water repellent one and they said it's from Germany and Italy)

But when I search online, I can't find the brand Hauzze anywhere. The sales agent said they are a manufacturer, Rigno and Le Meuble are their showroom.

Anyone has experience using this sofa? I'm quite worried if I've made the right decision

Thanks for the reply. I'm having some post purchase dissonance here and just afraid of the likelihood of getting conned hence trying to see if anyone has experience using this brand. Sofa frame is made of Meranti wood and for the mechanism is the type where the sofa seats can be pulled in and out to be extended. Not too sure about the other details though. Thanks for the advice I'll definitely be much more aware for my next purchases

RM13k for full leather (semi aniline) 3+2 sofa is okay price or expensive? I have been reading about leather sofa in LYN and mostly people buying leather sofa never more than 10k

It’s true here in LYN. I have been reading almost all thread regarding leather sofa here but mostly the price mentioned is around 5-7k for 3+2 set.

I didn’t ask the origin of the leather. Only asked about type of leather treatment undergone. Didn’t cross my mind to ask about the origin.

So RM13k for 3+2 is reasonable? I saw IKEA selling the same design but using pigmented leather (half leather upholstery) at price around RM8k for the same combination of 3+2. The name was landskrona IINM.

And it is from an established local manufacturer. Not middleman outsourcing their design from 3rd party manufacturer. So i am not worry about the warranty.

Went to rozel. Their salesperson was clueless about their own product. So, no rozel for me. And their design is a bit oldschool.

Haven’t gone to cellini, but saw in their website, some of the design looks nice.

Other than italy, where would they normally source high quality leather?

I noticed the same thing too. Which is why i normally use this forum to ask “where to buy” instead of “what to buy”. Because of we care too much about the price here, some people would know where you can get the best price for the product you had in mind.

Displayed price in Rozel are more or less the same for sofa of same size. Haven’t check cellini. I went to majuhome & harvey norman, the price were much cheaper. But i didn’t ask in detail about the composition of the sofa.

I already have one fabric sofa set at home. Since i am moving from an apartment to a terrace house, i need another set of sofa (the current set i will put upstairs). I want leather because i visioned a leather sofa in my concept ideas and i always wanted to own a leather, so this is the best time for me to buy. Otherwise if i buy fabric now, i might wait another 10 years before buying a new sofa.

Yeah i noticed that the leather goods in harvey norman is of subpar quality. They only furniture i would definitely buy from harvey norman is the lazboy recliner. But that one isn’t in the budget for now

Yes. I am aware that i shouldn’t pay display price. But what i don’t know is how much should i negotiate. My comparison with rozel is on display price because i don’t bother asking the final price. And the sofa i am eyeing was priced at 17k, with discount 20%. But i think if i am serious i should able to ask for further discount. But how much should i ask? 5%? 10%?

Yeah. 3k grohe shower set (or 5.5k in Malaysia don’t know why it is so overpriced here) is now out of question. Better use the money somewhere else for now.

Actually what I’ve learned from shopping for furniture is not about how much discount u can get (40% 50% 60%). Just see everything in net prices (after discount price) and compare because the before discount price is just a mark up from their actual selling prices.
King Living sofa’s seems pretty modern and sleek but pretty overpriced IMO. Good for those with unlimited budgets.
Harvey norman not too bad only for some items. Like their hilker brand sofa range.

How can i know if the sofa is according to what i want from facebook?

Any Abitex sofa owner here? Hows the quality of your sofa ya?
