I don't know much about sofas or leather so I'm just wondering if we made a smart choice. We have a dog and 4 kids so it needs to be top quality leather to hold up. The leather felt thick at the store but I don't know if that's how to tell if it's good leather. Scratches show up very easily, but the scratches also come out easily by rubbing it. I scratched one of the pillows really really hard, and it came out with a little bit of rubbing - pretty surprising. The salesman said that's a sign of good quality leather. Was he feeding us BS?

Our other choice was some really expensive custom King Hickory sofa, but the set was going to cost us nearly $9000 as opposed to the $5000 we spent on the R.C. Willey set.

What do you guys think?
