What do you guys think of this Somerset cane chair and sofa?
They are asking $2000. I think I can get it closer to $1500. The cushions look a bit worn.
The Somerset series is an expensive H&M product, especially with the cane sides. Well worth the money at $ 1500, though the backs absolutely need new core inserts at about $ 130 per. Backs look to be Ultra Down, replace with standards that are overfilled by 10% to cover the puddling issues.

Duane,
Thanks for the quick response.
Could I order those replacement core inserts from you?
What does it cost for the sofa and chair when it is new?
Yes, I can order cores for you. Back cushion cores in standard fill are just $ 75 per cushion, plus applicable UPS shipping. Seats look OK for starters, I'd start with the backs of the pieces and you can do the seats later on if they need it. I can't tell the hide on those pieces from those photographs but that'e easily $ 6K worth of furniture brand new and possibly more.

Excellent.
Thanks so much for your help.
If I end up getting the items, I will let you know and we can order the cores. Are you thinking it is $75 x 4 to to replace all of these back cores? Is there difference in costs between stand fills and stand fills with 10% overfill?
Thanks again,
Chad
I have some more photos of the set.
One more
Duane,
Do you know what kind of leather that is?
Can't identify in poor quality photos. That requires a real digital camera and hi-res photos.
