Starting to look for a leather sectional for a home I just purchased. Fortunately (?) Hurricane Sandy caused damage & that buys me 3 months of time while exterior is renovated & repaired. Figure I know just enough to get me in trouble. Learned about top & full grain & I was avoiding Chinese-made until I researched W. Schillig. Originally was interested Bradington Young because I like Hooker- their mother company. & the made in USA tag. Have a careless, dirty husband & a rowdy, athletic 3 yr.old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Looking to INVEST in well made, forever items for this rustic cottage, at my age I want this to be perfect, comfortable, durable & inviting...kinda like an old Mercedes diesel. Would like the grain & variations of hide to show as opposed to being processed & obliterated. Suggestions, comments & advice sought. Thanks
