Re: Advice needed on sofa/chairs for great room
Burnished leathers are a leap of faith, you're buying an 'artistic' hide, that is toned by hand after the piece is fully assembled, and is absolutely and most definitely going to vary from piece to piece. Samples don't do burnished leathers justice, because there are no folds, crevices, creases, and tufts to 'catch' the toner coats. Its like biting into a chocolate from a Whitman's Sampler....you don't know what you're going to get but its usually good. I happen to really like burnished leathers, but I buy cars over the internet, too....and my wife thinks I'm nuts to do that!
Capri is a wonderful leather, one of the finest (Butternut is my personal favorite color), Aspen is a big drop from Capri, but durable and serviceable if a bit homogenized, and Kipling nicely splits the difference between the two. I've seen all of them and sold all of them many times. Don't buy off the web site however, you really have to have swatch samples. If you need some, just PM (Private Message) me with your name and address and I can have them mailed out.
