Why choose a bench-made leather sofa from Sideboards and Things?
This sofa pairs the comfort of coil-on-coil seating -- each cushion features pocketed coils wrapped in foam, fiber bond, and down-filled channels -- with the stability of 8-way hand-tied spring construction, the hallmark of fine upholstery that causes the entire spring set to work in unison. The 90-inch width provides generous seating for family gatherings or quiet evenings, while the 23-inch seat depth and 18-inch seat height offer ergonomic support for extended relaxation. Natural grain variations, healed scars, and color shifts in the top-grain leather add character and authenticity, reflecting the hide's organic origin and the skilled tannery work that preserves its beauty. Position this piece as the focal point in your living room, or explore our sectional sofas and modular sofas for flexible seating arrangements that adapt to larger or evolving spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does bench-made furniture construction mean?
- Bench-made furniture is designed and built by one person or two at most, ensuring individualized craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the entire build process.
- What is 8-way hand-tied spring construction?
- The 8-way hand-tied process stabilizes the coil springs by tying each spring to its neighbors in eight directions, causing the entire spring set to work in unison for balanced, durable seating support.
- What type of leather is used on this sofa?
- The sofa is upholstered in top-grain cowhide leather sourced from premium tanneries, selected for natural appearance with distinctive markings, grain variations, and healed scars that add unique character.
- How are the seat cushions constructed?
- Each seat cushion features individually pocketed coil springs surrounded by a foam box, wrapped in comfort bond fiber, and filled with sewn channels of down -- all held in place with Velcro stabilizers to prevent shifting.
- Does this sofa ship fully assembled?
- Free standard curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; white-glove delivery, in-room placement, and any setup services are available as optional paid add-ons upon request for an additional fee.
- Will the leather color match what I see on my screen?
- Screen brightness and color calibration can cause leather to appear brighter or more intense online than in person; natural top-grain leather also exhibits variations in grain, texture, and color that are characteristic of genuine cowhide.
