I’d skip a sofa from Pb but that’s me - i don’t think their frame construction is great and I hate how their leather gets all drippy on the cushions, a good leather sofa is an investment and there are better options out there

PB upholstered pieces are not favorites of commenters on this site. I have some case goods from them, but I haven't bought upholstered pieces from them. You are right to be concerned about how they wear. Quality leather furniture is pretty expensive.

PB does not post reviews on their site. Does it make you wonder why? I have read so many negative reviews on Houzz that I have twice tried to talk friends out of buying PB sofas. Neither times did they listen. Both times they ended up feeling they made the wrong choice, were disappointed with the construction, and had terrible customer service.

A dear family friend manages a PB. She gives me terrible advice about furniture and I can only imagine how poorly she advises customers.

Please keep searching. They are not a good company for upholstery.

There are a few on here who know a lot about leather furniture. Hopefully they will chime in.

You can not have what you want at the price you want to pay.

The PB Turner/leather at not less than 3800.00 bucks plus shipping is what a HALF decent sofa costs, in FABRIC.

I will warn you, it's a piece of junk, and will hold up as same.

A trip to a decent brick and mortar, non catalogue venue is in order.

Top of the line? Hancock and Moore. Nearly as good? Taylor King......

Both have abundant selection in leathers, quality construction, good cushioning, and it is worth remembering leather cushions are not able to be flipped over. The flip side is the "breathe " side.

You'd be far better spending double at a decent brick and mortar on Taylor King....even Leathercraft is a lot better than that junk at PB

Yes,expect to pay big for leather furniture.Of course you are also expecting the piece to be of first rate construction and usable for decades! I have noticed that many leather sofas and chairs have loose individual cushions along the back.Somehow I always prefer a back that is integral .The loose back cushions seem quick to lose their shape and look dumpy and bagged out.
Suspect this construction feature is a cost cutting measure.
Also,sometimes cushions are not fully leather on all sides so your ability to rotate them is curtailed.
Super important to sit,slide,lay on the piece prior to purchase.
Divide initial price by number of years you expect to use it to get the real cost!

Even this! Cr Laine......far better quality, and it is a comfy body style!

also BETTER! BY MILES

Why do you think its on Facebook? Not COMFY that's why lol

I have two of them and they look almost new after 10 years. I condition them regularly, rotate the cushions.and fluff them. I think it's really about how well one cares for their stuff. I love the arms as I can rest a cocktail on the arm using a rigid coaster and it's a very deep couch so very nap friendly

"After ten years........"

Ten years ago someone might have found them decent. I for one, have sat on the best and the worst. So have most designers.: )

There is nothing in them in the way of support though it may have been better a decade ago.

I have never owned a NA made leather sofa but IMO the Italians make better ones as a rule So go look at Natuzzi and in person our first italian sofa in now 40+ yrs old and in our son's family room he replaced the foam in the seats when he took it the sit is still like it was new. No springs to wear out either they use a starpping system. It is leather everywhere no vinyl on the back or sides . Leather needs to breathe and IMO a really soft leather is not a good choice in any piece where you sit.

We have a very similar sofa from a local brand and it definitely has worn over time but like Deb we still love it. We rotate the cushions too and fluff them etc. Ours is in the rec room and my son adores it. I would say most people today expect a couch to last 10-15 years for them and then their tastes change. I doubt I would want the same sofa in my living room 30 years from now.

Rosiembog: You are desribing what we call a "tight back" and most custimers do not want them, they prefer separate cushions, its not cost cutting. Leather cushions cannot be covered on all sides because leather is not porous, and there has to be an air panel for the pressure to escape when sat upon, otherwise - over time - the pressure will blow out the seams.. eather has 4x the durability of the best fabrics, there is no need to rotate.

Patricia Cornwall: Stap suspensions, more correctly referred to as Pirelli Webbing are the worst and cheapest on the market, and will always sag over time when used on a seating area. No sag springs are step up from webbing, but 8-way hand-tied coil springs are the gold standard in suspension, there is no longer lasting and more comfortable system. Leather does not "breathe", but what it does need is cleaning and conditiomning periodically at least twice a year.

Leather lifespan is a function of maintenance. I sold thousands of pieces before retirement in 38 years. Some customers could trash them in as little as 2 years, others, like myself, have 30 year old units functioning well. The difference it not putting them in direct sunlight and cleaning/conditioning every 6 months.
