Chinese-Made Sofas?

[DP]

I really do wonder what the source of leather is in the PRC. What guarantees do you get when contracting a Chinese company to provide "leather" these days...

My wife did a little couch shopping today, and says she likes this one for comfort:

available in leather. Pretty tame-looking, but maybe better in leather; American-made, sofa and love-seat combo about double the cost of the Chinese set at Jordan's.

I dunno. Tax holiday this weekend, so we feel pressured.

As usual Saturday I was in Cambridge, where a friend steered me to a store (one of an international chain, actually) called Bo Concept, which specializes in what we used to call 'Danish Modern':
