H&M Austin Couch Question

[cicnyjack]

We are looking at the H&M Austin couch.

Anyone have a comment on the likelihood the of seatback cushion stitching giving way? I had another couch that suffered from that problem but that's not to say H&M would.

I'd like to know what the cushions are attached to. It seems like one of the most vulnerable areas of the couch.

Would leather vs. fabric increase the possibility of such an issue?

Stitching giving way? Almost never happens. If I see a loose stitch its always in a brand new piece where the sewer just missed it on the machine. On the Austin, the back bolsters are sewn onto the back. The only time I see a failure on this area is if someone tries to move the sofa to another place in the room by pulling on the cushions themselves, in which case the leather can tear or the stitching rip. But thats improper handling - and won't occur in any reasonable usage.
