I am on the brink of ordering my first B-Y sofa. I'm a little nervous about how my leather selection and wood finish will turn out on the sofa. I'm currently considering Stargo Clove (9049-86-F) for the leather and Casablanca for the wood finish. Has anyone seen this combo together, feedback on the wood finish (the only sample I've seen is online)? Also for the leather are there any AP leathers that have similar color to the Stargo Clove finished leather? Any advice, suggestions or feedback would be helpful - this is my first new piece of nice furniture I've every bought. Thanks!
2 other quick questions, would you confirm the leather I'm looking at is not processed in China (confusing comments on the forum about where B-Y leather is processed) and how much it would cost to purchase from you. Thanks!
Stargo is from Argentina according to the BY leather manifest: http://www.myfurnitureforum.com/show...ather-Manifest
Wood finish is usually a minor issue on most pieces, its in the shadows and doesn't really show much on the majority of sofas
9049-86 is plain old shiny, over-processed / over-worked boring slick leather that's painted (Hey, you asked!) If that were my sofa, I'd buy it in REAL leather like 9514-87 (same grade) or the new leather that just came out last week 9076-85 (King Street, a grade up).
PM me for prices if you like, but I'll need a model number and city/state to get you accurate figures.

thank you for the feedback - how do I PM you??
Also are both of the leather's you recommended Aniline? Is there an AP option you'd recommend considering. I'm worried about having the analine with a young family. Though I do love the look of it best.
I think this thread will answer your questions on leather:

9514 is pure aniline, 9076 is Aniline Plus
