So glad I am getting this extra information on the Reid. I am definitely considering this sofa, even though I have never actually seen it. I am going on the way it looks, and the comments from Duane. Duane, I do have another question. You also recommended the married leather to keep the cost down, but is the level ll better? And, would it be better with dogs? Does it not show scratches, as a previous post suggested? I am trying to make a decision. Thanks for all the info.

Leather grades are PRICING grades, not quality grades. That's important to keep in mind when selecting hides, its based only on what the builder has to pay for the leather. The BY 912 series Married Cover looks good though. If you like the texture and color, why not?
There are no leathers designed for pets to be on the furniture. One leather does no better than the next in that regard.

newbie here ...
I want to thank the folks who started and maintain this forum. I have learned a lot in a short period of time.
I am interested in getting further input from anyone who has either bought or sat in the Bradington-Young Reid Reclining Sofa or Reclining Loveseat. I am especially interested in whether you like it, and what leather collection level you bought or sat in.
Thank you for any guidance you may have.
I purchased the Reid motion sofa sight unseen!! I went with Grade II leather.....actually purchased two of them. They arrived 2 weeks ago and we love them. They are beautiful and comfortable. I did take Duane's advice and got the hidden remote. When I first sat in them I thought the seat depth was too short but after sitting in it a couple of times, the bustle back does flex back and forth, as Duane said in a previous post, and that is no longer an issue. If I had one complaint, it would be that the footrest be a solid piece and not have a "gap". My previous sofas had a solid footrest and it is taking me a while to get use to the "gap." However, my husband has no problem with the "gap." Other than that, I am very happy with the Reid. The quality of the workmanship and leather was well worth the $$. I would definitely recommend the Reid motion sofa.
Thank you, Roxannescott, for sharing your experience. Much appreciated.
Update - I tried to find a Reid to see and sit in anywhere within 6 hours of where I live. No luck. One B-Y rep told me women think they're ugly so no shop will stock one. From photos they don't look ugly to me, but not having one anywhere to try lost B-Y possible sales of two of them.
It was a relief to realize that we were far better off getting two sofas that could be Hancock and Moore superior quality via the Town & Country program. We didn't have any reluctance to buy them without having seen or sat in them, sofa seat depth being a much easier thing to imagine because the seat does not move.
The 912 Reid sofa is made by Bradington Young, not Hancock and Moore.
