I love the leather that is used on this couch- it looks almost like a leather bomber jacket. It looks like it would last through 4 kids and 2 dogs !!

Does anyone know who the manufacture of their furniture is or where I could find a similar couch !! Thanks !

Aniline leather is a type of leather in which high quality hides have been treated with aniline as a dye. This produces a delicate, soft, supple leather.

Typically, leather is coloured both for aesthetic reasons and to conceal blemishes. However, aniline leather is not coloured. Often the term naked leather is used. This allows the leather to breathe better, making the leather more comfortable in both hot and cold weather.

However, extra care is required when using furniture made from this leather. It is particularly susceptible to discolouration by sunlight and vulnerable to liquid spills.[1][2]
I do not want to detour you in any way. I have noticed though that " Ethan Allen" has come down in price and has many New styles that are not typical of what they have been known for. You may want to just compare and see. I know that Ethan Allen will Customize Furniture( for a price of course)This is not the same but it is a leather sectional that EA has right now - 3k cheaper than Arhaus.

If it is a Good Quality Leather it should survive not only Your children/Dogs - but with care should last forever. That is another consideration for you to think about. Is this a sectional that your willing to keep that long. It truly is an investment as you know by the $$. My cousin has all Ivory leather " Natuzzi" it is over 30 yrs old and in perfect condition. That maybe another site you would want to check out. http://www.natuzzieditions.com/collections/category.aspx?product_categ ory=sectional

I can't say though in 2009 the quality would be the Same.
I don't want to burst your Bubble but I feel that this Leather Sectional you have found on Arhaus is an Emotional Buy and you may find it " if you do buy it" not worth what you paid for it in the end. It may become " What I was thinking" 9k on sale wooo is a LOT of Money.
What I purchased from Arhaus was the Casama Chairs and a Iron Queen Bed Frame - and some glass accessories. I have seen just so you know duplicates of floor lamps for example that Arhaus sells for 300+ in other stores for under 140.00. Its all about shopping around. I hope my post helps :)

** You have Good Taste Mrs D - But I think that the Price is OUCH.
