Re: Looking to buy good quality contemporary leather sofa
Hi!
There's a quality sofa manufacturer Finsoffat in Kerava.
They have a store at the factory, and a larger one in Vantaa close to Ikea - near intersection of Ring 3 and Lahti motor highway.

Whatever you do, do NOT buy the Pohjanmaa sohva garbage
This is the place I am talking about:
http://www.pohjanmaan.fi/
They cost thousands of euros, and I suppose they are hand made by tonttuja in Pohjanmaa like their website implies, but probably drunken idiot inbred tonttuja. We bought one of their gawdawful sofas and it does look pretty good, but when we got it delivered we had to put the legs on ourselves - if I wanted a construction project I would have bought IKEA. More importantly, the cushions sagged. In the showroom, they were nice and firm like we wanted. So we bothered the salespeople at Asko for about a year until finally got Pohjanmaa to replace them. Now we have the new cushions, and as a result of us sitting on them they are also sagging. There is zero support, it is pretty soft with one person on it, and then gets totally absurd with two. The couch does look good, though, as long as no one sits on it.
So I can't tell you where to buy a good sofa, but I can tell you what NOT to buy.

I went to Vepsalainen and Stockmann. They have sofas from a Finnish company called Interface and I am thinking of getting one. Looks like Interface make the sofas in Finland and I assume they are a good brand here. Any of you herberts have any knowledge of this company?
