I'm 7 years into my McKinley Leather Furniture couch and with dogs and kids. I think I'll be tired of it long before it wears out. I'm from what was once the furniture capital of the world in North Carolina but it's hard to find good quality furniture anymore. Even the recognized better brands are actually cheaply made overseas garbage now. Search carefully and you can still find some good US manufacturers. It'll cost a little more, but it's the built to last stuff.
