IDEALHOUSE 85 Inch Mid-Century Sofa vs Miller Brown Leather Sofa

Both are 85-inch mid-century three-seaters, but they are not the same class of furniture. The Miller uses genuine leather over a solid and manufactured wood frame with pocket-spring suspension and a 750 lb weight capacity; the IDEALHOUSE uses faux leatherette with foam fill and publishes no frame or suspension details. Buy the Miller if you want a couch that holds up to pets, kids and daily use; buy the IDEALHOUSE if you want the mid-century look and are willing to accept a bonded-leather substitute. Owners of the Miller praise the leather, the firm support and the small-space fit, but several say it sits low and firm and one reported a smell on arrival.

• Choose the IDEALHOUSE if you want the 85-inch mid-century silhouette in a faux-leather cover and are comfortable with a lighter-duty build.
• Choose the Miller if you want genuine leather, a pocket-spring seat and a published 750 lb capacity from a sofa with 124 owner ratings averaging 5 out of 5.
