Anytime you are shopping for a sofa and actually need a dependable mid-range seating option, Flexsteel Sofas could be worthy of looking at. However, looking at any sofas needs to consist of more than merely shape and upholstery options. Some Leather Sofa Beds are very much worth your money; one or two might not be worth your time.
To begin with, we need to discuss what makes a particular sofa a Flexsteel sofa. This corporation carved its own place in the home furnishings industry by using blue steel seat springs that were always incredibly comfortable and long lasting. Usually, those springs are supported by excellent grade cushions and upholstery and furthermore are mounted on rather solid frames. Flexsteel additionally builds sleeper sofas with adaptable headrests that let the user to read a book or watch television, as the user would be able to in an adjustable bed. If you aren’t looking for sleeper sofas, Flexsteel has recliner sofas which incorporate very solid tubular-steel frames and handy recessed release handles. All Flexsteel furniture is covered by a very generous warranty. The frames, springs, mechanisms and cushions are covered with a limited lifetime warranty. The upholstery, on the other hand is merely backed by a limited one-year warranty, and this is where the issues start.
Brown Leather Sofas are made in tens of styles and hundreds of upholstery types, and a few types are better than others. In the event that you find yourself charmed by Flexsteel’s top notch construction and are open to getting your new sofa, you will want to have a very frank talk with a Flexsteel salesperson and communicate what you expect brand new upholstery to live through. The majority of Flexsteel furnishings are made in the United States, and by and large these are respectable products. The Latitudes collection of Flexsteel sofas, however, is made in China, and those products may be upholstered in leather which hasn’t been adequately processed.
There have been quite a few complaints about the leather upholstery included on Flexsteel’s Latitudes models, and some consumers have complained that the structure of these particular sofas are not manufactured using the same quality of materials as the typical Flexsteel furnishings. Your best course of action is to steer clear of the Latitudes line completely. When looking at the other Flexsteel sofas, however, some kinds of upholstery can rip or become pierced more readily than many of us are able to live with. Fortunately, if the problems show up early on, the upholstery can be corrected by their limited 1-year warranty. Consequently, if you are willing to go through the process of getting your sofa re-upholstered, any problems can be attended to easily.
If you intend to get a Flexsteel sofa, be certain you will be satisfied with the expense. The likelihood of ever purchasing Flexsteel sofas below the advertized price is about nil. A good choice is a Brown Leather Sofa Bed.
Flexsteel sofas are suitable specimens of properly-built, everyday products which, with some exceptions, can serve you reliably for a generation or more. They are somewhat more pricey than your everyday starter sofas, but very affordable for the majority of consumers. What Flexsteel sofas are not, on the other hand, is the art of upholstery. A Flexsteel sofa is not hand crafted by any standard, but it is excellent considering the price you pay for it.

Kahuna Hart, did you write this? I have noticed that this same write up has been re-written with a slight variation in wording in at least 3 other places on the internet. I’d look into that if I were you. Google “flexsteel leather furniture complaints”, and near this review are other reviews exactly like this, only with different wording.
Hi Kimberly.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, although I’m aware that all content under the HART Kahuna author name is syndicated and possibly revised versions of PLR content.
PS: What’s with the “flexsteel leather furniture complaints” ? Did you have a bad experience? Feel free to share .. I don’t mind ;D
I was seriously considering purchasing a Brandon Flexsteel Latitudes in leather sofa and loveseat. But,now I am reconsidering, after reading about the Latitudes history. So – what brand is recommended with good reputation, quality, warranty, leather, etc…………I’m desperate.
My wife and I just purchased a Flexsteel Leather Brandon Line, reclining sofa and loveseat for $2200. We read all the reviews online and debated and debated. We haven’t received it yet, but the bottom line for us was this: If the quality was as poor as some people say, the line would be discontinued because vendors wouldn’t sell it. Retailers don’t want to deal with unhappy customers and deal with poor reviews.
We found the same people complaining on various forums (one goes by the name purpleravengirl). Since people who are happy with their purchase rarely complain, we figured there must not be too may problems. Of course, there are always some bad apples with any item.
People tend to compare Flexsteel with the highest-price lines of furniture, which is not a fair comparison because the prices are double. And they also say the Latitudes line is made entirely in China, which it isn’t. The springs are the same as the lines produced in the U.S. But Flexsteel saves money by only offering a few choices of leather colors, making it more easily mass produced.
Anyone interested in how our purchase worked out can post online here, and I’ll respond once we get delivery.
Im sitting on the latitude brown double reclining sofa and it is one of the most comfortable sofas I’ve ever sat on. I’ve have in the past worked in the furniture buisness for seven years so i have sat on many different kinds of sofas, recliners, etc… After finding what looked like a small circle patch I called my retailer where i used to work at and he told me that it was a scar on the animal. I didnt really belive him so I started to search around on some reviews on flexsteel. What I came across was not pleasing to read and it made me second guess my purchase. For the price the sofa is an excellent purchase, but it is new so I do not know how it will stand to the test of time. I love the USA but it is a sad thing that most of our products are made wholey are partley from overseas, so for now people need to get used to it. Unless people have a fair amount of money to spend on USA made products, overseas made products are going to have to do. Yes, Flexsteel is a buisness that has to keep a reputation, but they do need to make money so they outsource. Im sure flexsteel does not want to go out of buisness for selling half-ass furniture. Dont abuse your furniture and know how to take care of it. So far I’m happy with my purchase but I will be watching my sofa closely
