I admit to having a favorable bias to the H&M Monaco series. I find then exceptionally comfortable and enjoy the wide, platform arm on them, plus the workmanship detail on them, especially how the nail trim wraps around the back of the arm. I even have a Monaco chair in my own home! And I'm also a fan of Italian Burnished hides such as this Hyde Park Brownie used on this piece. They look great, wear like iron, and develop a nice patina over time. Yes they cost more than your typical Chinese tanned painted promotional leather, but you get more, too. Also available with hand-laced detail around the arms if desired. This one has been customized with a gimp border around the base, wood finish is Mesa and its using the R & S nail trim.

This sofa and its identical twin and going to one of our forum member's home today in Maryland. Will be a striking twosome in the room!
