Leather is great as long as you pay up for the good stuff

Have leather couches of mediocre quality that are showing some definite signs of leather wear (as well other mechanical issues) after about 6 years of daily use.

Looking now for "grown-up" couches that should last a LONG time, but it's going to cost some serious money. What I've found is that Palliser is the best blend of quality and value. You can save some decent cash by opting for the backs and sides to be bonded leather with the rest top-grain. You save yourself ~25%.
