Lowering Prices Starting TODAY on our Carolina Leather line of Sofa Sets!

One of the biggest beefs I have with internet sales is that with many of the items, the customer can't test something out and SEE and FEEL how nice something really is. I'd particularly like to point out my personal top three leather sofas from our Carolina Leather line: The Wales, The Cornwall, and The Dublin. The Wales and The Cornwall are similar in comfort and they both have the same frame. When you sit on the sofa you sink right into the cushions which I absolutely LOVE. Some people are more interested in a firmer seating and in this case, these people would be more interested in The Dublin. I'll get to that group in a minute. Now, back to the Cornwall and Wales sets...they are both 8 way hand tied so they're going to last you for a very long time. (If you don't know the term "8 way hand tied" then click on this link. It's the best explanation I've found.) On a personal note, my family has had the SAME Lexington leather sofa for about 15 years now and it is still in perfect condition as far as the frame and comfort goes. Of course, cost on it 15 years ago was a whopping $1500 so it SHOULD hold up the rest of our lives. This just goes to show you that although 8 way hand tied CAN be more expensive then other frames, it is certainly well worth it.
Now, on to The Dublin. Like I said before, this group is a little more firmer than the other two I was talking about. However, it is still one of the most comfortable sets we've ever sold. The leather on it is amazing-soft and buttery. It's a tad more expensive but certainly well worth it.

The bottom line here is that customers will buy these expensive sofas all day at places like Haverty's or Robb and Stucky but why is that when they can buy this particular brand from us at about 1/2 the price of these other retailers? The answer is simply this-they can physically see it at these retailers and can't online. They're afraid to buy from a picture which is understandable. I'm here to tell you that these sofas are well made and close to being right up there in the same category as these other top-of-the-line brands. If I thought something was downright crumby then it wouldn't be on my site.

This Just In! Berkline's Top Sellers!

Here we go, folks! We've just received the "Top Sellers" list from Berkline. These are just the reclining groups so nothing stationary is shown here. One of my personal favorites, the 40040 Series is on the list for both the top selling leather list and top selling fabric list. The 40040 Series is available in a promotional microseude fabric (which I love) that is available in three colors. (Check it out here at CarolinaFurnitureGroup.com.) As always, we are well below the average price point that Berkline has listed! The 40040 group is also available in a promotional leather (two leather colors with vinyl match) as well. The Antique Gold is particularly my favorite. We'll get swatches up soon so you can see a more detailed view but the Antique Gold is the darker color that has a maroon tint to it. Love it! The 40040 Series in leather can be viewed here at CarolinaLeatherSofas.com.
Of course, at the top of the list is the 496 series in the 3133 microfiber pattern. No surprise! This group has ALWAYS been a customer favorite. I've been told that the comfort of this set is superb! You can check out the 496 Series here at CarolinaLeatherSofas.com
Now, we can't forget about our Home Theater Department! Definitely not a shock on what's on the top of the best-selling list! The 45090 Series has been popular for years and has always been our #1 domestic theater chair. So, what's the top-selling leather cover? The promotional deal Berkline can't afford to let go-the ever popular 7049/0249 in black! Where are these "average retail prices" coming from? Certainly, not us! Once again, we're selling these chairs WAY below the average price point! Take a look at our best selling Berkline 45090 theater chair here at CarolinaFurnitureGroup.com!

Don't worry, there's more to come!
