Leather Sofa

Anyone know the best place to get 100% real leather sofas?

Most shops are selling blended but doubt that will last long.

Oak furniture land. We bought a leather electric recliner sofa & chair back in December. They were sold as 100% real leather

Surely places like DFS will have real leather if it says it is leather?

My dad used to have a furniture shop until he retired. He only ever sold Duresta sofas & chairs in leather as they were guaranteed 100% (might have changed since he sold up) and they are proper handmade British quality https://www.duresta.com/

Given your location, Cookes in Erdington may be worth a look.

I bought Stressless top-of-the-range leather settee and chairs from them over 10 years ago and they still look like new, despite daily use.

Furniture's a bit like cars - you get what you pay for.

Finding a genuine leather sofa can be a bit challenging, as many stores tend to offer blended materials.
