I originally bought one (1) 87 black leather sofa and two (2) matching chairs. I figured I would only order one sofa just in case I did not like the set to make returns simpler. I will add that s return policy is awesome and the main reason I was willing to buy furniture sight unseen.
I figured would then order another sofa if I was happy with everything. My intent was to buy 2 leather ottomans that would be interchangeable with the chairs and sofas. I as leaning toward the Kaden model in matching black leather. For the price, I could get an entire living room set in 100% leather with no vinyl anywhere for a fraction of the price anywhere else.
As for price, this gets tricky. Using camelcamelcamel, I saw that the price for the sofa fluctuated from $600 to $1660. I decided anything around $700 was a great deal and patiently waited until the price dropped near this level to purchase it. I ended up paying $707 for the sofa during the pandemic.
The chair price fluctuated from $420 to almost $1,000. I ordered both chairs at the same time as the sofa when they reached $441 each.
The sofa was delivered on time but FedEx lost the chairs, which were to be delivered 2 days after the sofa. Kind of annoying since I got rid of my entire living room set the day before the scheduled delivery date.
As others have stated, setup is simple (I had to do this since the delivery drivers could not enter my home during Pennsylvanias stay-at-home lockdown orders). This was no big deal as I opened the front door and the delivery guys just slid the box into the room.
Common sense dictates that the leather would be dry as it was shipped in a cargo container from China. I took 15 minutes and rubbed Lexol leather conditioner on the entire sofa. I routinely use Lexol on my vehicles leather seats. Once the conditioner set in, the leather was extremely supple. I figure Ill have to do this a few times per year to keep the sofa in good condition.
Comfort-wise, the sofa is great, with one caveat; if you are buying this to face toward a television and spend long hours watching TV, the back is way too low and it becomes extremely uncomfortable. I do find it very comfortable to sit on, just not for extended periods of TV watching. The greatest thing about the sofa is that it is fantastic to lie down and watch TV. If you remove the cushions, it makes quite a comfortable guest bed.
FedEx delivered one chair a few days later but the 2nd chair remained lost in transit (they both came from the same warehouse 3 miles from my house). I placed the chair facing the TV and paired it with an old ottoman I had to try it out for a few days. By the end of the first evening, I realized that this is an occasional/accent chair and offered no functionality as an everyday chair to read/work on the laptop/watch TV. Even with the ottoman, I found myself slouching as the chair back support was way too low and uncomfortable. Therefore, I sent it back immediately and cancelled the other chair that was lost by FedEx.
I picked up two (2) Waverly power recliners from Raymour and Flanigan on sale (for less than I could have gotten the Aiden chair and Kaden ottoman). I think they match the style/color of the sofa pretty well.
Once I had the sofa and recliners, it took about 6 weeks for the price of the sofa to drop to the low $700 price range. At that point I bought a matching black leather one for the other side of the room.
Now that Ive had everything for a few weeks, I am extremely happy with my purchase. As you can see from the pictures, the sofas are quite low in the back, which allows full sunlight from my bay window to enter the room. Fortunately, the window faces north so the sofa will never get direct sunlight.
One last thing to add is that I was willing to wait for the price to drop, even if it took 6 months. Once I realized I could buy 100% leather at such a good price, I was unwilling to settle for any of the other fabric options. Although I really wanted the Cognac color, the price was twice as much as the black.
Sofa is great...chair, not so much
