We have been looking for such a long time to find a family room sofa that equates to the quality of our 22 year old Thomasville sofas that are finally giving up the ghost (fabric, not frames!)....we finally found it in the H & M Evening sofa. Although we've been happy with our H & M leather chairs, we have been concerned about the wear on the arms and piping...and they are only about 8 years old and not used nearly as frequently. We'd like to do the Evening sofa in fabirc, but the choices we have seen leave a lot to be desired. We have fallen in love (!) with a fabric from another furniture company...is it possible to purchase fabric elsewhere and have H & M upholster with it?
