I've had a lot of back and forth with sales including additional pictures and detailed discussions about their products, and they sound like a reputable company, but there is little feedback out there on them which makes me hesitant to order. As mentioned above, I've yet to find the cushion and suspension combo I'd like, and these folks seem to use sinuous instead of 8-way (though I'm still waiting on confirmation on what their suspension is, though it is safe to say it likely isn't 8-way if it isn't stated as such).
I watched the video, they seemed to be all about their cushions and its not very professional (watch Hancock and Moore's video if you want to see one done right). They don't tell us where this is made, other than the leather is Italian, and I can't see the frame, webbing, or springs on their site. My guess (and its just a guess) is that its mediocre. If a maker is using solid hardwood frames and 8-way hand-tied, you can be sure they will brag about it.
