Best Sectional Sofa Reviews
Sectionals are incredibly popular to give your living room a nice look as well as versatile seating options. Sectional sofas are also incredibly difficult to find in real leather. The imitations are everywhere. I would be willing to make up the statistic that only 1 in 20 leather sectionals that you look at are actually made of leather, though that number is entirely estimated and is effected by the price range you view.
Finding top or full-grain leather sectionals has been somewhat of a nightmare for me. They are as tricky as ever with their wording using phrases like “Heavy Duty recycled leather”, which is a fancy way of saying Bonded Leather. I’ve also seen phrases like LeatherSoft Upholstery, which implies nice soft leather, but if you investigate further you will find the LeatherSoft is a brand of…you guessed it! Bonded Leather!
They refer to it as “leather mixed with polyurethane”, which is right on, but it is mostly polyurethane. However, after many hours of searching, I have found some good solid sofas, at a variety of budget options.

Affordable Leather Sectionals
This is a great price range, for people with a budget between $2,000-$4,000. Most people should be able to find something they like in this range, and for a small price increase you can really take a step up in quality of materials, customer service, warranties, and more.
Pick #1: Kardiel Florence Knoll Style Sectional Sofa
Price: $2,512.82
Pros: Kardiel is a great brand with a wonderful reputation. They do use high-quality leather for their furniture. This sofa also comes with several “quality of life” improvements that you won’t find in the cheaper option above. These include things like floor protection pads on the legs, reinforced cushions, and more.
Cons: If you have small children, you may want to watch them around the buttons. Generally in furniture the buttons are a tempting plaything for kids, and can be popped off if you want it bad enough.
I’m a big fan of Kardiel. They put a lot of care into their products, and they have exceptional warranties, great customer service, and a 1-year in-home trial period for furniture. Because of all that, I would recommend buying their products from them directly. You may pay a little bit more than if you were to buy them off Amazon, but I generally think the added perks (and the benefit of supporting the company directly) make it worthwhile. This is extra important if you are financing your purchase. I would rather my financing be through a smaller company than through a behemoth like Amazon. But in the end, that choice is up to you.

*MY TOP PICK* Pick #2: Kardiel Woodrow Box 100″ Leather Sofa Sectional
Price: $3,894
Pros: I won’t downplay it, I love this sectional. I’m a big fan of the classic “wood & leather” look, and this piece combines them in a way that also blends perfectly with modern decor. Clean, elegant, and built with incredibly high-quality materials. It even has a fairly wide range of color options. I can’t say enough good about this one.
Cons: I don’t have many cons here. As long as you can afford it and it doesn’t drastically clash with your decor, I don’t have anything bad to say.
High-End Luxury Sectionals
This covers sectionals priced $5000 and up. It’s important to be discerning in this price range. At this point you are most likely paying for one or more of three things.
- Brand
- Style
- Size
The materials used at this level are good, but not any better than the ones in the mid-range price. If you have the money and want a specific style of sofa, I would say go for it. Same goes for size. It makes sense to pay more for more stuff, and some of these sofas are way bigger than their mid-range counterparts. But paying extra for a brand name doesn’t make much sense here. As long gas the quality of materials and construction are good, it doesn’t matter much, and the whole point of this list is to make sure you buy something high quality.
Pick #3: Woodrow Neo Sectional Sofa
Price: $4,690
Pros: This has many of the same pros as the Woodrow listed above, but not all of them. It has the same wood and leather look, and the same high-quality materials. Whether it is a pro or not is up to the individual, but it has a tufted cushion that gives it a more classic look, instead of the sleeker modern look seen in the previous Woodrow.
Cons: Fewer color options, slightly smaller, and I personally don’t like the style quite as much. That is a personal taste thing, but I honestly feel like you are paying more for a very similar sofa to the one listed in #3, but smaller and with fewer colors.
As I said above, it is worth noting that Kardiel has a year-long trial period for their furniture, so you can see how it looks and feels in your house risk-free. Between that and the fairly generous warranties, I support buying directly from Kardiel. However, you can also buy from Amazon if that’s a big thing for you.

Pick #4: Granville Power Reclining Sectional Sofa
Price: Varies (Check Today’s Price)
Pros: Top grain leather, USB charging ports, and 3 power reclining chairs make this sectional a wonderful blend of comfort and style
Cons: This is a big sectional, so you have to have a fairly large space for it to fit comfortably in.
Pick #5: Mitchell Modern Sectional
Price: Varies (Check Today’s Price)
Pros: This has a cleaner, more modern look than the Granville shown above. It is made entirely of top grain leather, which is the best you are likely to get in a sectional. The hardwood frame combined with the top grain leather means this sectional will likely last a ridiculously long time. The wide variety of color options increases the odds of it matching your decor.
Cons: As long as you like the modern look and it is in your price range, there aren’t a lot of cons here.
Pick #6: Woodrow Box 126″ Leather U-Sectional
Price: $6,487
Pros: This is just the bigger version of the Woodrow Box I listed as my favorite at #3 above. All of the things I love about it still apply here, though it does have fewer color options. Still, amazing quality and one of my favorite sectionals of all time stylistically.
Cons: This is a big sofa. At 10 feet long and 5 feet deep, this takes up a good chunk of space and has a price tag to match. It is a really cool sectional, but it is more niche than some of the smaller ones.

Kardiel Company Review
Company Integrity: You may have noticed that many of the sectionals in this list come from Kardiel. That’s because I really like Kardiel. They have always been a pleasure to work with and have provided very personalized care. They have a 365 day trial period for purchases and are generous with returns and repairs. It’s a family business, they are incredibly transparent about what their materials are and where they are from, and they don’t sell a single leather item that isn’t top-grain.
Overstock Company Review
Company Integrity: Overstock has always been good to me, but you do need to be diligent in your shopping. Because they are such a big store they have a lot of options and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with product specs. They also do a lot of stereotypical furniture sales, which means that pricing can change day to day. This lets you get great deals, but you sometimes have to jump on them.
