Is a leather couch worth it?

1 Answer
Is a leather couch worth it?
Many furniture lovers and interior designers believe a leather couch is worth it. Although full-grain and top-grain leather upholstery generally costs more than faux leather and textiles, high-quality leather gives a couch a sumptuous feel and elevated appearance. Premium leathers also resist wear and can be easily wiped clean. However, whether or not it's worth buying a leather couch is subjective. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of leather sofas and other furniture.
