The Austin is a 90-inch bench-made sofa in rich brown full-grain aniline leather with shearling trim. The hide carries its natural markings, so it develops a patina rather than staying uniform. At 74 inches of inside seating width it takes a family comfortably without reading as oversized.

How Is This Sofa Actually Built?

The frame is kiln-dried hardwood with every joint double-dowelled, glued and screwed. On top of that sits a true 8-way hand-tied spring system, where each of the eight directions is tied by hand so the springs work in unison rather than independently -- the traditional method, and the reason the seat stays even across its width.

The cushions are 6 inches thick and medium-soft: individually pocketed coils surrounded by high-density foam, topped with down-feather fill. Each is individually bagged and zippered, which stops the fill migrating and clumping over years of use, and Velcro stabilizers keep them seated.

What Can You Choose on This Piece?

This sofa is shown in brown full-grain aniline leather. Uptown Sebastian builds custom leather furniture to your specification, and the leather grade and color options available for a given model are shown on its product page. If you are matching a room, request swatches before you commit -- see requesting leather samples.

How Do You Care For Aniline Leather?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and rotate the cushions so they wear evenly. Keep the sofa out of direct sunlight, which dries and fades any hide. Professional conditioning every 6 to 12 months keeps the leather supple.

How Long Does It Take to Build?

Made-to-order furniture takes an average of 8-10 weeks from the day you order. This sofa is built for you after the order is placed rather than pulled from a warehouse. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA is included with no minimum; in-room placement is an optional paid upgrade and does not include unboxing or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between full-grain and top-grain leather?

Full-grain keeps the hide's entire outer layer with no sanding, so it is the strongest option and shows the most natural character as it ages. Top-grain has that surface buffed to remove flaws, which makes it more uniform and more stain-resistant. This sofa is full-grain.

What does aniline mean?

Aniline leather is dyed all the way through rather than coated with a heavy surface finish. It feels softer and more natural and develops a patina, but it is less stain-resistant than a protected finish -- worth knowing if the sofa is going into a household with young children or pets.

Will this sofa fit through my door?

At 90 in. wide and 44 in. deep it usually needs a 33-inch clear opening if carried on its side. Measure the doorway, any hallway turn, and the pivot into the final room before ordering.

What is 8-way hand-tied suspension?

Each coil is tied by hand in eight directions so the springs move together instead of separately. It takes far longer to build than a sinuous or no-sag system and is the reason the seat supports you evenly all the way across.

Does it ship free?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to all continental USA addresses, with no minimum order. Curbside means a freight truck, a signature and the piece left on its pallet at the curb. In-room placement is available for an additional fee.

What does the warranty cover?

The frame and springs carry a lifetime warranty. Cushion cores are covered for 5 years, and the leather surfaces and stitching for 1 year against defects in materials and workmanship. The natural change in a hide's appearance over time is normal wear rather than a defect.

Is this sofa returnable?
