I got the Timber Charme by article for my tiny studio near Seattle a few month ago and my only complaint is I don't want to use my bed because it's so comfortable. I used Otter wax on it as soon as I got it and it definitely made the leather feel more sort and plush and also had the benefit of adding a slight sweet orange rind scent to it. I LOVE this sofa.

I’m looking at this sofa and trying to choose between the Timber or the Nolita by Poly and Bark. Has the Timber held up for you? I worry about the cushions loosing their shape quickly

That's why I love leather sofas. It looks modern. It's far easier to maintain, easier to clean up spills and it doesn't smell, especially if you make exotic food. It may be cold to sit on at first, but it feels warm, as fabric, after a bit. A fabric sofa might even smell of the food, we make, after a while. We've had the same sofas for 8 years and they're still in great condition. Every now and then, we'll use leather wipes, to keep it in top condition. All our other sitting furniture , including the dining chairs, other chairs, ottomans, entry bench and even all our bed frames are made of dark leather, along with our car seats, for the same reason. It blends pretty well. We would never have any furniture, made of fabric, ever again. Leather may cost more than fabric, but maintaing it costs far less in the long run. It lasts much longer and it goes well with wooden floors. I don't understand why many people overlook leather, in general, for furniture, when there's so many positives about it.

any advice welcomed, I'm about to buy either tan leather or brown leather I'm just worried that the tan leather will stain and mark much easier
@JoyfullyGrowingBlog
@JoyfullyGrowingBlog Жыл бұрын
Both colors of leather will change overtime with use, as mentioned in the video, but the tan may show more stains. Ultimately I'd go with whichever color you like best and just be sure to follow the maintenance and conditioning we recommend in the video for best results with stains and scratches.

How is it to lay on and watch tv? Is it like laying on a board or does it kind of engulf you?

It's a great lounging couch, especially with the long seat cushion. It definitely does not engulf you, it's more supportive than that.

Nope, they're original. But you could add thin wood trim pieces to cover the typical rounded metal RV window frame to give it a more residential look. That's all these were!

Hi! The Sven is full-aniline leather, here's an expiation from Article. "Our full-aniline leather is the classic popular kid. Loved by many, often misunderstood. In this case, it’s the changes in color that seems to baffle people. It’s a full-grain, full-aniline leather which - as you now know - means it’s highly variable in tone, texture, and natural markings. Because it’s the most natural option available, no two pieces will be the same." - www.article.com/blog/choose-leather-furniture/ This link is a deep dive on different types and finishes of leather.

The RV we had this sofa in came with a sliding glass door which made moving larger furniture in much easier. in our current RV (with a standard RV door) we chose the shorter length Sven and it fit (just barely!). We've also removed large windows to get big pieces of furniture in- checkout episode 3 of our RV renovation series to see us move the fridge in and out through the window!

How is sitting in the middle with the two back cushions meeting in the middle? I figure there would be less support in the middle since that’s where the two edges of the cushions meet and would have less support there. I’m thinking of getting the Timber from Article so there are 3 back cushions. Although, I like the look of the Sven a bit more. Thanks!
