Black Faux Leather L-Shaped Sectional vs Omnia Fairbanks Sectional

The Omnia Fairbanks is the better long-term buy: top-grain leather, a known brand and a published warranty beat a generic black faux-leather set. The faux-leather sectional wins only on being a simple two-piece L-shape that is easy to move and wipe clean. Owners of bonded and faux leather report cracking and peeling within a few years, while top-grain leather softens and holds up far longer. Pick the Omnia if this is your main living-room couch; pick the faux-leather set for a rental, a basement or a short-term need.

• Choose the black faux-leather sectional if you want a low-commitment, easy-clean L-shape for a rental, basement or kids' room and don't need it to last a decade.
• Choose the Omnia Fairbanks if you want a main living-room sectional in real top-grain leather that will age well and is backed by a brand warranty.
