We custom ordered through Bassett, which is somewhat similar to Ethan Allen. They have configurations of products available that aren’t on their website FYI. We had a really knowledgeable salesperson, so that was a big help.

It's just fucking stupid. Not only looks shite, the edges of the pillow now actively try and push you off the god damn thing.

I much prefer our natuzzi leather coach we moved to the basement theatre.

Just spent $500 on a solid wood bedroom set with dresser, night stand and drawer chest.

Sure it's probably 30-40 years old, but still looks brand new. Eventually some day I can also refinish it to make it look more modern, but for now it will work as is.

Yesterday, we finally bought one. Glad the search is over.

Now the search for cleaners & conditioners for top grain leather sofas begins.

What are you using?

Any other maintenance tips for a top grain sofa?

I just use whatever I’m using on the cars at that time. Right now I’m using some lexol cleaner & conditioner set, before I think I had some chemical guys. I don’t do it vey often to the couch tough… maybe once or twice a year.

Damp microfiber. If necessary mild soap and water and nothing else. If you do use some type of cleaner other than that, and see the color of the sofa on the cloth you are using, stop immediately.

Glad too to hear your search is over.

For my car's interior maintenance, the restoration shop I've used for paint work sent me to the detailer they use for interior leather restoration. The detailer uses Leatherique products. The car's interior looks like new, helped by its staying in a climate-controlled garage and my habit of being very easy on the leather.

I have been using Meguiar's for 99% of my auto needs. Ordered some Bick 4 for the sofa.
