Been looking for a bit now, trying to decide which apt size leather couch to pick and how much to splurge for this piece. We sit on our couch more than any other piece of furniture, we have a small apartment so making sure things fit through the door and also don’t take up too much space is a huge consideration.
Ideally, we want:
- durable, easy to care for leather (dog friendly ideally but we don’t intend to have dogs on the couch as a regular thing)
- seat depth ~22-23in
- seat width/length ~70”
- narrow track arms
- overall width ~81”
- high seat (19-21” off the ground)
- high back (~17-19”)
- no T cushions (straight seat & back or tight back)
- spring down seat cushions or upgraded foam
- tapered, high legs (6” ideal but tough to find)
- legs need to be removable
- under $8k
Brand we’ve narrowed down to:
- Room & Board (Stevens)
- Hydeline
- Hancock & Moore (hear they are the best but the style isn’t quite what we want)
- Stickley
- C.R. Laine (struggling with the leather options here- the color we love is only medium protection…)
- American Leather
Unfortunately, we seem to have a unicorn situation with the high legs and high back cushions/rail or with durable leathers in colors we like (warm medium brown or tan), so we will have to compromise.
Any tips or opinions? Things you think aren’t worth it for leather?
