I was looking for a good leather lounge set to replace the current one at home and looked at few stores and came across this one http://store.focusonfurniture.com.au/lounge-suites/leather-l… at Focuson furniture Nunawading, Vic. It looks good 100% leather and seat is firm. 1 year warranty for leather, 3 years for foam and filling and 5 years for structure.

Went to Super Amart to look at similar ones and came across this one http://www.superamart.com.au/quattro-45162/. This one is also good but seat is not as firm as the one from focuson. I showed Super Amart about the focuson price and they said they will beat it by a $1 with free delivery effectively $898 delivered. 12 months warranty.

I bought the one from focuson because I wanted firm seat. Staff at focuson told me price is valid until end of this month.

Edit : I got the sofa delivered yesterday. It is good for what I had paid for. There was a small cut in the 2 seater. I had reported to their customer service and they said they will swap with a new one on Tuesday.

    Only a 1 Year Warranty on 100% Genuine Leather? Alarm bells!

    Obviously depends on budget but most would not consider this a good leather couch. It have been processed to look like full hide leather but quality would be far from it.

    Nevertheless, looks like a decent price for the product.

      The Australian Consumer Law would cover you if there was a fault. Anything you buy in Australia is expected to last for a reasonable amount of time. Who cares if you only have 1 year warranty, if the leather starts falling apart after 2 years you can take it back and claim under the ACL; more.

      Super A mart always provide a 1 year warrantee which is standard minimum under consumer law. they do this so they can UPSELL their warrantee package = $200 for extra 5 years.

      FOF usually provide 5 years structure and 3 years fabric/leather as standard (plus extra year with platinum credit card)

    I bought the Toronto leather range from focuson and what attracted me was the price compared to other retailers.

    Their website says - " When we say 100% leather lounge, leather sofa or maybe even leather couch, we meant it!
    When we say real leather lounges, we mean real, quality 100% leather. Not bonded, not by-cast, not hide - not any other name to cover the fake stuff; the real deal. Genuine, authentic, beautiful leather - ‘Leather as it should be'"

      is it living up to their claim? and are cushions still firm?

    looks like a deal good.

    focus on website is useless though might have to pop in store to have a look. no description, fine. but they should at least put some measurements up.

    Yeah have to agree with Coley. 1 year warranty on a leather lounge suite is pretty bad.

    But, you get what you pay for (am I allowed to say that here?)

  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2015 - 16:06

    It's not really leather. Cheap couch leather is to real leather what pet mince is to a top shelf cut of from a butcher.

    Explained pretty well here.

    • Mr BoMBAStiG on 27/05/2015 - 17:17

      They would beg to differ

      • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2015 - 17:26

        Quality leather costs significantly more than this.

        So I simply don't believe them.

        • Mr BoMBAStiG on 27/05/2015 - 18:58

          I went and sat on a set today after work to test it's comfiness (they are too small for me).
          Anyway, I would probably agree with you and don't believe them either. Yes it looks and feels like leather but not the type of leather you expect from a real leather couch.

          @cymon:
          Maybe it's just lower grade leather that has more blemishes on the hide?

          Belly leather?

    I wouldn't trust Super A mart.. they have the seediest floor Sales staff. Their stuff looks cheap and just as seedy. BTW what the hell does 100% genuine corrected grain leather mean?! 100% genuine spin.

    Thanks OP. Just purchased one today. Sofa looks good and I reconfirmed from the store that it is 100% leather. It might not be top quality leather though but cannot complain at this price.

    • newozbargainermelb on 01/06/2015 - 00:58

      It is definitely better than the Amart stuff. My friends bought similar models from Amart they are not as strong as this one. I would say reasonable product for reasonable price.
