Sofas

Nest, medium 2 seater leather

John Lewis · £2,299

A sofa shown from the front at a slight angle.

Worth being NRY provisional

£2,299 in butterscotch leather, mid-century in shape with exposed legs that let light under it, which is what stops a leather sofa reading as heavy. Leather is the covering that improves with a decade of use rather than wearing out, and it is the one worth paying for if the sofa is meant to be permanent.

For
Someone buying one sofa for a long time who wants it to age rather than wear.
Not for
Anyone in a cold room: leather is unforgiving in January.

What we checked

  • A mid-century style with exposed legs, built as a living room centrepiece. John Lewis

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
