I was wondering, rather, if in your opinion it would be possible to remove an arm off the sofa so as to join 2 sofas to make a corner sofa. If the sofa comes as one complete piece I suspect not but it looks like the arms may be separate; however I'm also not sure if that would leave the corner with no leg support..!Dora on Tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716881776527988715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093444.post-78360847675762133562014-11-24T01:30:03.732+01:002014-11-24T01:30:03.732+01:00They’re still in good shape.They’re still in good shape.Michael A.

I purchase the arm chair and sofa. Several months later I noticed some stitching coming apart on the arm chair and what is turns out to be is incomplete stitching(workmanship issue.) I called IKEA about this and they said Skogaby has no warranty. I thought he was joking, so they will not replace the arm chair, but they ended up offering to pay for the repair of the workmanship issue. Other than that, it's a nice leather furniture series and the leather very nice for the price; however, it is partly built from particle board.

Not sure what to expect in terms of cracking and care of IKEA leather.<br /><br />And what type of climate do you have in Switzerland?

The leather is quite supple, and shows no signs of cracking.<br /><br />The legs of the sofas are made of black plastic covered in metallic paint.

I'm considering getting the larger couch for my new apartment, and am wondering how the leather is looking after some usage. I've heard that IKEA leather can sometimes crack quickly after purchase. Am considering going with the Skogaby or a fabric couch like the Kivik. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!Derek Brameyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463770179817707045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093444.post-27763949962097134232010-11-03T13:37:39.594+01:002010-11-03T13:37:39.594+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
