List of most Major Leather Furniture Brands and some new companies where they rank as far as quality in the industry.

The following information was compiled from using more than 40 years in the leather furniture industry on a manufacturer, and retail level. The owner created this list originally in 1990 to help you understand more about leather furniture brands and has kept it updated since. Everyone wants to tell you they make the best leather furniture so at times it can get confusing. We set out to be objective as possible; these are strictly our opinions. We carry many of these products and are not biased; they all have a place in the market. Most every manufacturer feels they make the best product, but realistically they fall into a certain category as compared to their peers. Many factors come into play here (climate, amount of use, size and weight of user, children, application, i.e.: residential or commercial etc.) as durability and lifespan are dictated. Warranties  and sometimes prices are not always indicative to a quality product, some manufacturers over warranty then fall short on servicing. It is generally recognized that solid hardwoods for framing, springs of coil shape, like true 8 way hand tied seating, and heavy innerspring cushions will provide longer use and comfort than products built with lesser specifications. Always purchase the best that is in your budget and you should enjoy many years of use from your leather upholstery. 1 being poor, 10 being excellent; these brands are ranked on 6 different factors.
