This is ridiculous. When will we move beyond gender stereotyping? Stop depicting men as idiots and stop depicting women as only interested in shopping. And this is from egalitarian Sweden?

Hello Jim! I'm the former owner of this sofa. Unfortunately, last July 4th, one of my dogs shredded the seat of the sofa in a fireworks induced hysteria. I ended up selling the sofa to someone who was going to reupholster the seat.

To answer your question, I purchased this sofa via Ebay, sight unseen. I believe it came from an estate sale back east. The original owner was an interior designer. She had owned it since the 60s. It was in great shape but the fabric was very difficult to maintain. If I had to do it all over again I would have bought leather. I'm sure you can still find these on Ebay, usually the shipping cost isn't too bad. You are correct, they are not nearly as common in the states.

I wish I could have responded to you sooner but I'm not informed when a new comment is posted. I just happened to revisit this post as it was pinned on Pinterest today. Good luck!
