Advice on Leather Sectional

10 years ago

Hi there! I have been reading a lot of posts on Houzz and have learned so much from these wonderful forums! However, a lot of the posts I looked at were a little out dated and I would love a personalized approach to my specific problem.


My wife and I are moving into a house located in Rancho Santa Margarita, California and have the budget of around 3-5k for an affordable quality leather sectional.


I tend to lean towards a more modern style of leather sectional, with clean lines and a "flatter" appearance to the backing and arm rests. Some of the sectionals I have looked at are the following:


My wife would love a "L" shape leather section, and ideally I would love a more modern piece. I would love any and all suggestions to help us reach our goal of finding this leather sectional, and with the hope of everyone maybe I can find the perfect couch!


Also: would love any additional insights into the Brands / Companies that I listed above, as well as any additional brands that I could find within my budget range. I am open to all advice and critiques - thanks!

    You mention you are looking for a “L” shape sectional sofa. Your price will depend on the dimensions of the sectional. Your links shown show varied sizes and number of seats in each photo. First you must determine the seating space you need. How many people do you want to sit comfortable? Does quality of the leather and construction matter? Your price will be determined by number of seats you need along with construction and leather quality.

    There are a few manufactures I can recommend that will fall within your price range and look like the styling you are after. If you don’t mind being made off our shores, I would look at Palatial. There are a few styles that fit well with your budget and looks you will like. I would also suggest Omnia Furniture, made in CA or Mckinley Leather made in North Carolina. Omnia will price lower because they are not a true 8-way hand-tie construction line like Mckinley. Both do however use top grain cowhide everywhere on the entire piece. Both companies also go the extra mile with attention to detail. To get the Mckinley to fall within your price range you will need to shop for stores that are offering sales or a discount. One more to look at is Palliser Furniture. They are based in Canada but manufacture in Mexico. They also have the style you are looking for that will fall within your budget.


    I am not familiar with the line from Canada you have listed or the other brands but I do understand what Costco offers and all companies I have recommended are much higher quality both in leather and construction as they do not use 100% top grain leather everywhere and that is why the price will be higher on the lines I have recommended, but still within your budget. It comes down to you get what you pay for.


    I think your price range is reasonable and think you can find the perfect sectional with a little investigation.
