I am currently interested in the Austin Highback Sofa (8138 NB). My local furniture dealer has a floor model in Viking Tobacco leather. This dealer shows all of its H&M floor model pieces in the program (Just in Time or Town & Country) leathers. So I have only been able to see and feel the Viking, Document and Cavalier leathers.

This furniture is for my family room and will get constant use. So I am looking for a leather that will last a long time with regular maintenance. I like the look of the Viking Tobacco leather on the Austin, but worry about it being a finished/painted leather. (I'd hate it to crack/peel in 5-10 years.) I'd possibly like a leather with a better feel than the Viking. Can you recommend leathers other that the Viking that would be a good fit without breaking the bank?

Thanks so much for your help.
