We are looking to get a new sofa and loveseat. Definitely not in the high-end price range, but something better than what we have now. Our set was a family hand-me down with a floral print that screams early 90s (maybe 80s). I love that we were given these, but they have been destroyed by one happy-scratching cat. I keep them covered with nice-looking couch covers (the print didn't go with my oriental rugs!) but I am SO SO SO sick of the covers, constantly straightening, washing, etc.
We have a bit of gift money with which to get new, but they have to:
(a) Maybe tolerate a persistent beast of a cat.
(b) Tolerate a growing baby (and possibly more kids in the future).
(c) Handle moves as we are still MS, and will have residency, fellowship (maybe), and attending moves.
So we were thinking, maybe a leather? Some say that leather is the best for cleanup from kids other say it is terrible. I've also heard that cats don't like the feel of leather and will generally avoid it. Please share your wisdom all mighty IMSN!!
(Our style is more classic than modern... if that makes sense)
TIA!!
