Re: H&M in store models vs ordering
The Charter is hard to beat on comfort. The Campaign is nice, but those track arms are much harder and you need a pillow to lay down and nap atop them on that piece. As far as egress, anything in the H&M line will go through a 36" doorway, the Charter probably needs only 32" as the cushions come off and the back is low, and also the four bun feet can be unscrewed (you need a # 2 Square Drive bit to remove them, not a phillips screwdriver).
Yes, fabric will feel completely different. First off, the cushion cores are different. You get a marshall unit spring down in fabric, and the leathers is 16oz Dupont Qualux. Secondly leather is stiffer and not as pliable or yielding as fabric. It won't be different in a bad way, but it WILL be different. You can absolutely get 3 pieces under $ 10K like that. Way under (depending on covers selected, of course).
