Re: Advice on leather reclining sofa
Seven Seas is a 100 % made in China line by Bradington-Young. Not really my favorite, nor is any furniture from any company that is made in China.
Hancock & Moore is great, but double your budget.
Two things to consider:
1) You mention this is going into a basement, do you have adequate door clearance to get a piece this size into your home? You'll need (in most cases) a straight shot into the room and 33" of clear door space. These are very heavy units and don't maneuver well at all.
2) Think twice about using reclining sofas with young children. Kids like to sprawl on sofas and WILL get their hands and fingers caught in the mechanisms if they play and roughhouse on the piece as most kids do. I can almost guarantee some blood blisters and cut fingers. Also, the mechanisms cannot take being jumped on when in the extended positions and failure is likely (i.e., one kid in the recliner then tackled by another).
What I like much better - just in my experience - is a stationary piece or sectional and then get a large covered ottoman to pull up to the piece to use when you want to watch a movie. Works just as good as a recliner sofa (in my experience) and you get extra seating with the ottoman, plus kids love to sit on it closer to to the TV to play Xbox or Wii, etc.
I don't have any recommendations in that price range, sorry!
