Buying a Couch

[RedViking]

SHF has a clearance store near Howick. Might still be a bit over budget though depending on what stock they have

SHF ?

Leather Gallery.

I will avoid them. Friend bought a couch from them, let's say 10 years ago, supposed to be genuine leather, and it cracked like faux.

genuine leather will crack like faux if not treated properly. same as not treating wood properly.

Leather cracking

Cracks in leather are common when it dries out or is exposed to sunlight. The leather fibers abrade one another. Although the damage is irreversible, several cracks can be easily concealed by rehydrating the leather with a quality conditioner.

Sutherlands Home Furnishers. Think it used to be just Sutherlands back in the day

It’s got nothing to do with the economy. Go try buy a decent piece of furniture anywhere in the world and you’ll pay the same if not more.

I don't live in the rest of the world. So I refer to where I currently live, which is Southern Africa.

nd in life I believe one needs to collect beautiful things that last and bring joy to your home.

Agree

 

[RedViking]

If I were you I’d double my budget and get something to be proud of.

Might have to.

Buy the Coricraft one, you won't regret it. Just specify that you want Scotchgard, and extra stuffing from the factory before delivery. Otherwise you'll need to take it in for stuffing, which is the issue I'm sitting with.

But before that, go into a store and sit on some couches. Personally I hate leather, apart from the wear and tear it looks cheap and tacky...

Thanks stick man. Wow, they look super cheap.

According to them it was properly cared for and treated. Anyways, I don't like Leather Gallery. I have heard more than one complaint, it might just be the local one as most services her in stinky bay falls short of the service from other parts of the continent.

Argh... I mean affordable. Cheap in price.

Huawei Senior Management always had a fit when their sales people called their tin "cheap" ... it was drilled into them that it is affordable, not cheap

 

[RedViking]

h. I can recommend that you make absolutely sure about the space you have vs the size of the couch, as we had to rearrange the living room to make them fit.

Definitely.

After about 3 weeks of searching, we came across a sale at Incanda,

Now THERE is some modern beautiful furniture.

Recently bought a 3 seater recliner from these guys Recliner Online , will definitely buy from them in the future.

It's a online store but They also have pop stores if you want to see the quality.

Not bad at all ... think I need a recliner for the PS room

No need to be snarky. The local economy has nothing to do with the cost of great things. Go buy your couch from Mr.Price then. Enjoy!
