| I have been looking for a reclining sofa and loveseat for a while and have narrowed it down to one by Flexsteel (Lattitudes Collection) and one by Southern Motion. I will get it in leather. I don't want to pay the price for something like a Hancock and Moore. I have not found good reviews for these companies online. Are they really bad news or are these disgruntled people? Which would you recommend? Or is there another company that makes a reclining leather sofa (preferably with a rolled arm) under $2000? Thanks! |

| Reclining sofas/chairs or motion furniture does have its problems and will wear out eventually. Quality built mechanisms are expensive to build. More commonly, motion furniture will have poor quality inexpensive mechanism, usually imported. So no reason to spend a great deal of money and buy the best bargain you can find. Leather is usually considered a investment in stationary upholstery and with a quality frame and construction will last many years. But for motion furniture, which cant be considered a investment, its always better to buy cheap leather and cheap mechanism and keep your expectations low about how long it will last. And usually the leather will outlast the mechanism. |

| oojeanie...what did you finally endup purchasing? I bought a Southern Motion power reclining sofa and 2 power recliners in leather. We are returning them because we've only had 3 months and the padding in the arms is already breaking down. I've reselected the Westport by Flexsteel Lattitudes and I'm afraid I've messed-up again. This was expensive furniture and I've researched and researched. The warranty seems to be good...lifetime ltd warranty on the springs, cushions, and fame. I also bought the 5 yr warranty from the store. So...please let me know what you ended-up with and your opinion. |
