We had been looking for a new couch for about five years and visited over 20 manufacturers and retail outlets as well as doing extensive online research. My Dad was a woodworker and a designer so I knew what to look for to find great quality product. I visited Pacific Living without any expectation to find something fabulous. (What I did expect was to yet again be disappointed.) Here in his showroom was a stunning, well made, honkin', piece of furniture in gorgeous, thick, quality leather. None of this "bonded" or "split" crap. (Can you say "short life span"?) This stuff is stunning. And I had a cat and a dog and yes, with a blankie we let the dog lay on the couch... it is so comfortable. We have had this couch now for four years and it is fabulous. The seat pillows have only slightly dented and the back pillows - well you can't see a thing.
You might wonder why a female would choose such a masculine looking couch. I love it. It reminds me of camping up north with family, country living, (though our design style is not countrified) and it will last, last, last.
I can't see us parting with this couch in the future, and if we ever choose to I know it will have a very high resale value. (Go ahead, try to sell a used couch today.)
The photo is a caramel colour and ours is an almost chocolate brown with slight reddish-brown tones. It's leather, so it won't be the same throughout. If you want to see our couch, get in touch with Al and I'll send him a photo. Or, you could buy your own...
Enjoy!
