H&M Achieve Ottoman # 5423 - Funkified in various GR 5 leathers

You want fun? This is fun. :cool:

If you follow the forum, you know that price grade 5 leathers are pretty dear at H&M, they will put a serious hit on your pocketbook - but there is nothing quite like them. They are the finest leathers in the world. One of my "leather enthusiast" customer who is also a forum member wanted to have some GR 5 leather in the house, but didn't want to take out a second mortgage to do so - and this is what he came up with. There are (6) different leathers on this piece, all GR 5:

Top: Plaza Honey
Side 1: Flora Honey (photo 2)
Side 2: Deerskin Camel (photo 2)
Side 3: Laredo Whiskey (photo 1)
Side 4: Continental Amber (photo 1)

The welt trim was done in another GR 5 leather : Old Croc Tortise. We finished it off with "N" nails spaced, and used Mesa for the finish.

I put it out on my sales floor until he could come pick it up...and it drew folks to it like bees to honey. Everyone was curious about it and two folks asked if it was for sale. The size is excellent and can actually be used to comfortably sit upon. Under $ 1K as shown.

Really like the look of the Plaza Honey on the top!

That piece is UPS-able, too.
