Chesterfield sofas are iconic. A classic design that dates way back to the 1600’s, they are still loved and adored all over the world, largely due to their elegant curves, buttoned backs and of course, their undeniable quality.

However, some buyers are reluctant to buy Chesterfield because they’ve heard myths about the sofa range.

Common Myth 3. They only match old fashioned décor – wrong!

When you envisage a Chesterfield leather sofa, you’ll no doubt picture the iconic, timeless design that has opulent arms, a buttoned back and hand studded front facings.

However, you may be surprised to learn that there are many variations on this style. The classic design looks amazing in modern homes that make use of trendy paint palettes, such as blues, greys, and dark greens, but designs like the ‘Cambridge’, the ‘Lincoln’ and the ‘Grand Chesterfield’ are purposely built to mix contemporary with iconic.

Common Myth 4. They are too expensive – wrong!

First things first, price is often a clear indication of quality. As the old saying goes, “buy cheap, buy twice”, and if you’re in the market for something that will last a few years before wearing or breaking, you may want to look at cheaper options.

However, Chesterfield sofas are less expensive than you think and are built to last. The design has stood the test of time, and will continue to do, as will the sofa you purchase, making it a wise long-term investment.

Common Myth 5. The leather wears easily – wrong!
