While KOVI is thrilled to offer a range of affordable offerings to choose from amongst our 150+ leather options, we know that there’s still a sense of leather being more of an investment than some other upholstery. So let’s do a quick review of what we love — and are sure you’ll love — about leather!
Many of us have gotten to know our furniture VERY well over the last year. Perhaps you and your couch have, well, kind of become one. That’s okay. It’s nice to break-in your furniture. It’s certainly nice when you arrive at a sink-in-comfort that fits you like a glove!
Let’s talk some more about leather. Easily one of the most misunderstood of upholstery options. For too many folks leather seems to be both intimidating and alluring. But what’s the real story?

As cooler temps creep in, you might find yourself cranking the thermostat or snuggling up by the fireplace with a cup of cocoa.
