Drcollie,

Iam new to the forum; however, have read many of your posts and greatly appreciate your expert advise. It is like a breath of fresh air to those who are searching amongst the many pieces of furniture available.

What manufacturers do you recommend that have "Key elements for best construction" in a sofa. Love the leather, but am afraid as I have a nicely mannered cat, but sometimes goes wild and runs around the walls and furniture. I have one of those Early American homes and need the Early American look in a sofa for the Family Room that has wing backed chair and camel backed love seat. ( I love a sofa made by Johnston Benchworks, but do not know if it is quality)???

I live near Gardner, MA where I can virtually order any thing from major furniture manufacturers.

But, I know you are an expert and want and really would appreciate your recommendations on manufacturers.

Thanks for your time, I appreciate this site...it is FAB!
