We were at Sears the other day and they had floor models of both Berkline and Palliser HT seating, and only in fabric and the mid-line leather finish (yuck).
It was hard for us to figure out exactly how one would be better than the other.
Especially considering that we want the softest (buttery) leather possible in whatever we order (I know the softest leather also stains the easiest, but comfort is still #1 and a darker color doesn't show the stains as easily as lighter colors).
Has anyone had experience with HT seats, from either (or both) of these manufacturers, made with top-quality leather?
Of course, there are other considerations, but that was first (along with price).
Also important would be: ease of use, overall comfort and build/component quality.
